00:00For the update on Mayor Jane Veloso, let's talk to her parents, Celia and Cesar Veloso. Good morning.
00:08Good morning also.
00:10Good morning also.
00:11Do you have good news for us?
00:14Yes.
00:16Share it with us, mother.
00:19Yes.
00:21Because what's good for us is that we know that my son will be able to go home.
00:28That's why the whole family is happy, especially his son.
00:33One more thing.
00:34We will be going to Indonesia on the 15th.
00:38That's our wish.
00:40Father, how do you feel? You will see your son again on December 16.
00:47I'm happy.
00:50Even though my legs are weak, I have to go because my son is dear to me.
01:06What's his favorite food?
01:09Adobong baboy.
01:11Maybe you should wear slippers again, father.
01:16No, I won't.
01:18Are you allowed to talk on your cell phone or video call with Mayor Jane?
01:23Yes.
01:25How is her condition?
01:28Do you see your son happy to talk to you?
01:33He's very happy.
01:35He's very happy.
01:37He doesn't show us his sadness.
01:40He's very happy.
01:42How is he in prison while he's waiting for his release in Indonesia?
01:47He's also happy.
01:49I feel that he really wants to go home.
01:54Are you going to visit your son and Mayor Jane?
01:58Yes.
01:59They were still young when Mayor Jane was imprisoned.
02:03How old are they? Two?
02:05Yes, two.
02:06How do they feel that they will be able to visit their mother?
02:11They are very happy.
02:13They said that they won't waste their time with their mother.
02:20They will do everything to make their mother happy.
02:26Yes.
02:27Father Cesar, you said when we last talked,
02:29that you hope that Mayor Jane will be sent straight to your house.
02:33But the DOJ said that maybe Mayor Jane will be sent to the Women's Correctional first when she returns to the Philippines.
02:42Do you still believe in her safety there?
02:46If that's what our government wants,
02:51I hope that they won't imprison her.
02:54I hope that they will give her a clemency because she's been in prison for a long time.
03:00I hope that this will be their Christmas gift to us
03:05so that we will be happier.
03:07My daughter has been in prison for 14 years.
03:12I hope that the President will give her a clemency.
03:18Are you packed? Are you ready to travel?
03:21Not yet. We are still here in Manila.
03:27We will go to Batasan later at 8 p.m.
03:34After Batasan, we will go straight home.
03:39Okay. Take care on your trip.
03:41How are you, Mayor Jane Veloso?
03:44Take care mother and father. Thank you.
