00:00The DFA itself has confirmed that Mary Jane Veloso is returning to the Philippines on Wednesday.
00:06Our countryman has been imprisoned for almost 15 years and is about to be released in Indonesia.
00:11Reporting by Joseph Moro.
00:19Mary Jane Veloso is happy and having fun in her world in Yogyakarta.
00:23She will be sent to a detention facility in Jakarta, Indonesia where she is now.
00:27DFA Undersecretary Edde Vega has confirmed the statement of the Acting Deputy for Immigration and Corrections Coordination of Indonesia
00:35that Veloso is expected to return to the Philippines on Wednesday, December 18.
00:40It is estimated that she will be imprisoned for almost 15 years and will face death row in Indonesia
00:46after she was found guilty of possession of more than 2 kilos of heroin.
00:51The Administration of Aquino and Marcos identified Mary Jane's case.
00:55Until the new President of Indonesia passed away, their prisoners left the country.
01:00This is where President Marcos requested that Mary Jane's case be included in the review.
01:04Last month, the President said that Mary Jane will return to the Philippines.
01:08She was excluded from the agreement signed by Indonesia and the Philippines on December 6.
01:13Now, the National Union of People's Lawyers said that Mary Jane's fate is in the Philippines.
01:18Even if the case is legal in Indonesia, because the cost of the physical here has been transferred,
01:23the political option is in the Philippines.
01:27According to the Justice Department, she was directed to the Correctional Institute for Women to be imprisoned.
01:32That's why the Veloso family asked for an executive clemency.
01:35The Veloso family is hoping that at the end of their 15-year fight for Mary Jane,
01:42their family will reunite.
01:46We kissed her, we prepared her favorite food, Adobong Baboy.
01:53I don't know how to speak Tagalog anymore.
01:55That's why when we talked, she started speaking Tagalog, but later on, she would say different things.
02:01She wouldn't say, ay, eka, she would remember that. She would change her words.
02:07If there's anyone who wants to reunite with Mary Jane,
02:10it's her children who have been separated from their mother for a year and six years.
02:15I will hug her tight. I hope that before Christmas, my mother will be able to leave.
02:21I'm happy during Christmas, but I'm not happy when I'm pregnant.
02:25Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:40.
