00:00And to talk about the sudden return of Mary Jean Veloso to the Philippines, we will talk to her mother, Celia Veloso.
00:08Ma'am Celia, good morning to you.
00:10Good morning to you too.
00:12Ma'am, it's a shame that you were not able to go to Indonesia.
00:16How is your family now and what was the last thing you talked about about Mary Jean and her return?
00:22Even though we were not able to go, we are happy as a whole family.
00:27Because we know that her return will be fast.
00:30And we talked to the whole family that we will prepare for Mary Jean's return.
00:36Especially her dream of making Adobong Baboy. I will really prepare that for her.
00:43It looks like even the menu for Mary Jean's return is ready, right?
00:49Yes.
00:51What was the last thing you talked about?
00:53Is Mary Jean in Jakarta now while we are talking?
00:57Yes, she went to Jakarta yesterday.
01:01We were in Simbang earlier.
01:05And what is the latest? Do you have any news?
01:09Because she said that she is in Jakarta to start the process of her return to the Philippines.
01:16Yes, that's all we know.
01:18She went to Jakarta to prepare the necessary documents.
01:22And I know that my daughter will be able to go home.
01:25That's why we are just waiting here.
01:27I know that our President will also give the clemency that we are waiting for.
01:32Yes. Even though we don't have a definite date yet,
01:36but do you have a strong hope and feeling that your daughter will be here in the Philippines before Christmas?
01:42Yes, we have a strong feeling.
01:45All of us, the whole family, we have a strong hope that we will be able to spend Christmas with Mary Jean.
01:53And the clemency that you mentioned earlier,
01:56is the information that you will get that when she arrives here in the Philippines,
02:02she will be given the clemency so that she doesn't need to be imprisoned anymore?
02:06No, but that's what we are hoping for.
02:10When our President gives the clemency to Mary Jean,
02:14so that she can continue to be free,
02:16that's what we are hoping for as a family.
02:20The last time the President was asked about this,
02:23he said not to make any announcement.
02:27That's what the Indonesian government is asking for.
02:31But do you have any indication that the President will give the clemency like you are asking for?
02:39It's possible because it's not my daughter's fault.
02:44That's why we are hoping that our President will give the clemency to Mary Jean.
02:49Nay, what Mary Jean said is that she is considering Himalaya as her home.
02:54What do you think about that?
02:55Do you also feel that this is a prayer, an answered prayer?
03:03Yes, it's true.
03:05Himalaya is a big Himalaya.
03:07For the past 6 years, Mary Jean has been silent.
03:11I lost all hope.
03:15That's why I am surprised.
03:17Mary Jean is right.
03:19Mother, don't worry.
03:21I know that we will be together as a family.
03:25I know that I will be able to go home.
03:27The Lord has given Himalaya to Mary Jean so that she can go home.
03:32You must be very happy and excited.
03:36Aside from Adobo, what else did Mary Jean request for her home?
03:41Pastillas and Adobo.
03:46Yes, that's what Mary Jean asked for.
03:49Maybe all of her Adobo will be prepared by her mother.
03:53Nay Celia, thank you very much for letting us online.
03:58Thank you also.
04:00We also talked to Celia Veloso, the mother of Mary Jean Veloso.
