OFW na 14 na taon nang nasa death row sa Indonesia, makakauwi na ng Pilipinas, ayon sa Pangulo

last month

Ligtas na mula sa bingit ng kamatayan ang OFW na si Mary Jane Veloso pagkatapos ng mahigit isang dekada sa death row ng Indonesia. Inanunsyo ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na makakauwi na si Veloso sa Pilipinas, bagay na labis na ipinagpasalamat ng kaniyang pamilya. Pero hindi sa bahay ang diretso sa pagbabalik-bansa ni Mary Jane kundi sa kulungan pa rin.

00:00Good evening Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:04Mary Jane Veloso has been saved from the death penalty of the OFW.

00:10After more than a decade in the death row of Indonesia.

00:15President Bongbong Marcos announced that Veloso will be able to return to the Philippines.

00:19It is a great thing that his family thanked him.

00:23But Mary Jane's return to the country is not at home, but in prison.

00:29And Ivan Mayrina is in touch.

00:35After 14 years in prison, Mary Jane Veloso will return home.

00:39The OFW in the death row in Indonesia.

00:42That's what President Bongbong Marcos announced this morning.

00:45The President said in his Facebook account.

00:47It is a great thing that more than a decade of talking to the Indonesian government.

00:51The President also thanked the new President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto.

01:00If you meet my written agreement, there is still no answer.

01:05But they are the first to come to us to talk about this.

01:10So we're extremely confident it will happen.

01:13And certainly our President must be pretty of information which will explain his confidence.

01:21Mary Jane was sentenced to death after being charged for more than 2 kilos of heroin

01:26that was discovered in her luggage when she arrived at Yogyakarta Airport in 2010.

01:30But Mary Jane said that she was fooled by her recruiters,

01:33who brought the alleged luggage that she did not know that it contained drugs.

01:38The news that Mary Jane will be allowed to return to the Philippines

01:41is more than the excitement of her family in Nueva Ecija.

01:44Especially that her children are just kids when she was last with them.

01:48This is the happiest thing in our life, the whole family.

01:52Especially her children.

01:54It's been a long time.

01:56Now, this is it.

01:58God has heard our prayers.

02:01Her pregnancy has arrived.

02:04I hope that Mary Jane will be able to return to the Philippines.

02:07I hope that she won't be jailed.

02:10I ask the government that if Mary Jane will be able to return to the Philippines,

02:14I hope she will be able to return to the Philippines.

02:16But the alleged return to the Philippines is not in their home in Nueva Ecija,

02:20but in Piitan, which is still being targeted by the government.

02:23Under the Prison Transfer Agreement,

02:25the physical custody will only be transferred to a prison in the Philippines.

02:29But the legal custody is still in Indonesia.

02:32The Correctional Institute for Women in Mandaluyong

02:35is one of the places where Mary Jane can be brought to.

02:37Even if she will be jailed, Mary Jane will be saved from the jail

02:40because Indonesia is aware that there is no death penalty in the Philippines.

02:44When she arrives here, she will be serving the sentence that was meted in Indonesia.

02:49So she will just continue her sentence.

02:52And I think it's worth emphasizing also that the most important aspect of this all

02:57is the difference in our laws.

03:00There, they allowed the death penalty.

03:02Here, we all know that it's abolished.

03:05So we don't have a death sentence here.

03:07But Mary Jane's lawyers want something to happen.

03:09Our law is absolute remedy,

03:12which even the Coordinating Minister of Indonesia

03:16expressly stated that it's now going to be the responsibility

03:20of the Philippine authorities, whether or not to grant clemency.

03:25Aside from Mary Jane, there are 57 Filipinos around the world

03:28facing the death penalty based on the DFA data.

03:32For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina, Katutok, 24 Hours.
