Having been raised and sent to school by the religious, Porferia Acuram became a church-based volunteer worker. She served not only her fellow Subanens, but all those who needed her help including victims of encounters between the military and the insurgents, some of the latter she would bring to the hospital. On July 19, 1989, she solicited food from the Red Cross for two wounded communist rebels. She was arrested along with her husband later on the same day.
