Back in the 1970s and 1980s, one of the most desired women in Philippine showbiz was Elizabeth Oropesa. Known as “La Oropesa,” she was the fantasy of an entire nation—stunningly beautiful, undeniably magnetic, and fearless in taking on daring roles. But today, she’s no longer known just as an actress—but as a faith healer.

From Sex Symbol to Star

Before she became a faith healer, Elizabeth was a superstar. A beauty queen turned actress, nearly every film she made drew crowds. Who could forget her iconic roles in movies like Lumapit, Lumayo ang Umaga, Mister Mo, Lover Boy Ko, and Alindog? Bold, daring, and unapologetic—she was the embodiment of female empowerment long before it became a movement.

She wasn’t just a pretty face either. Her acting had depth. She won numerous awards, both locally and internationally. But despite her fame, there were things she kept hidden from the public eye.

A Woman With a “Third Eye”

While she was making waves in showbiz, she already had a deep interest in spiritual healing. According to Elizabeth, she had a “third eye” since childhood. She claimed she could see things invisible to the average person—spirits, energies, shadows—and even communicated with the unseen.

“I didn’t choose this,” she once said in an interview. “It chose me.”

Behind the glitz and glamour, Elizabeth quietly studied natural healing, herbal medicine, and spiritual cleansing. This wasn’t a hobby—it was a serious calling. She even trained under traditional healers in the provinces.

A New Direction

As she slowly stepped away from mainstream entertainment, she focused on her new mission: to become a faith healer. Though rarely seen in movies or on TV now, people from all walks of life seek her help—not just for physical ailments, but also for emotional and spiritual issues.

From a sex goddess to a spiritual guide, her transition was not easy. Many doubted her, some laughed, and a few were even afraid. But for Elizabeth, this is her life’s real purpose.

“What matters more?” she asked in one interview. “The applause in a movie? Or helping someone who’s losing hope?”

Healing, But Make It Glamorous

Don’t think that just because she’s a healer now, she’s lost her glamor. She’s still Elizabeth—fierce, elegant, and unapologetically herself. During her healing sessions, she wears bangles, makeup, and carries the same regal aura. But her life is quieter now, more private, and more meaningful.

She’s one of the few celebrities who had the courage to walk away from fame to follow a higher calling. She admits she’s made mistakes in the past, but now, she feels whole.

Where Is She Now?

Now in her 70s, Elizabeth Oropesa remains active. She occasionally appears on TV, but her main focus is healing. She sees clients—often fellow celebrities who don’t want the public to know they consult a faith healer.

She offers more than just physical healing. She performs spiritual readings, prescribes herbal remedies, and yes, sometimes performs exorcisms. She has faced cases of kulam, elementals, and other unexplainable forces.

The True Elizabeth Oropesa

So who is Elizabeth Oropesa, really?

A national fantasy? Yes.

An award-winning actress? Absolutely.

But more than that, she’s a brave soul. A woman who followed the voice of her spirit instead of the noise of fame.

While others faded after the spotlight dimmed, Elizabeth walked a path unlike any other—not to be noticed, but to heal.

Once admired for her sensuality, today she’s respected for her spiritual wisdom.

And in the end, she still commands presence—not just for her beauty, but for the depth of her soul.
