00:00And still on the way home to Mary Jane Veloso, we got the latest from Jakarta, Indonesia on the spot by Emil Sumangil.
00:13Rafi, all systems go for the way home to Mary Jane Veloso from here in Jakarta, Indonesia.
00:23Here is my report.
00:25At 12 noon, the press conference was supposed to be held here in Jakarta to brief the media on the turnover of the Indonesian government to Mary Jane Veloso to the Philippine authorities.
00:40But the schedule was changed.
00:42It will be done at 8 pm, 9 o'clock in the Philippines.
00:47It will be done at the airport and it is expected that Mary Jane Veloso will be turned over here to the officials of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Bureau of Corrections, and National Bureau of Investigation.
01:01Bureau of Corrections Director General Gregorio Catapang also arrived here in Jakarta.
01:07He will lead the Oplan Sundo Nisya, the delegation that will go to Mary Jane.
01:13He confirmed that Mary Jane will be turned over to the Women's Correctional Facility in Mandaluyong.
01:24Mary Jane will not wear body armor and will only be treated as a person deprived of liberty without any threat or threat.
01:37Adobong buaboy and pastillas are said to be good.
01:41This is also what Mary Jane wants to eat when she arrives at the facility.
01:45According to Catapang, his parents, children and siblings will be given a few hours to be with Mary Jane.
01:53But Catapang also mentioned that Mary Jane will be under five-day quarantine inside the facility as part of the protocol.
02:02He will be a SELDA, formerly known as Cassandra Leong.
02:07He will remain for two months at the Reception and Diagnostic Center for orientation, diagnostic evaluation, and initial security classification.
02:18He will be transferred at the appointed time by the RDC, Initial Classification Board.
02:24The team of the NBI will also be here to assist the DFA and Ducor in the turnover that has been approved by the Department of Justice.
02:31Selfies are not allowed with Mary Jane.
02:35Do your job properly until Mary Jane returns to the Philippines.
02:42Meanwhile, at 12 noon here in Jakarta, Indonesia, Rafi, Connie,
02:48the DFA, Ducor, and the National Bureau of Investigation will be here at the Embassy of the Philippines in Jakarta
02:58with the officials of the Indonesian government to plan the upcoming turnover that is expected to happen later tonight.
03:06Rafi, Connie.
03:08Is that the reason why the press conference that many are waiting for the return of Mary Jane Veloso needs to be canceled?
03:18According to Director General Greg Katapang, the reason why the press conference was resumed at 12 noon,
03:29is because the officials have agreed to do the turnover and direct Mary Jane to the airport.
03:37If not, Rafi, the press conference will be held at the Philippine Embassy and the possible turnover,
03:42aside from being too early in the scheduled time of the flight, is a bit far.
03:49This hotel where we are staying right now is just in front of the Philippine Embassy.
03:54The time of the flight from here to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, where we landed last night, is less than an hour.
04:04So, for everything to be planned, including the flight, it will not be a problem.
04:10That's why the officials have agreed to do the turnover at the airport.
04:15Is it a private airplane that will be used, Emil? Or is it a commercial flight?
04:19And how is the reception? How big is the history of Mary Jane Veloso in Indonesia?
04:26Okay.
04:28Let me start with your first question.
04:31Regarding which airplane will be used by Mary Jane, this is a commercial flight.
04:36The departure is past 12 o'clock, early in the morning, here in the Philippines.
04:41The trip will be less than three hours.
04:44And when she lands, she will be accompanied by the contingent of the NBI and the Bureau of Corrections,
04:52and will be directed to the Women's Correctional Facility in Madaluyong.
04:56In your second question, Rafi, how will the Indonesian media accept this story?
05:01In our language, it's a take-one, a gap-one, not just a headline.
05:06There's a follow-up story, there's a developing story.
05:10The people here in Jakarta and other places are eagerly accepting this story.
05:17In fact, the place where the meeting will take place is in the Philippine Embassy.
05:23Yes, in the Philippine Embassy.
05:25We have colleagues who are looking for jobs there.
05:29They are already posted there at that time.
05:31It's not just today, Rafi.
05:33When we arrive here in Jakarta, we have a lot of media, local print, broadcast,
05:40and they are talking about the story of Mary Jane Veloso's return to our country.
05:46Do we have information, Emil, if there is a replacement that Indonesia is asking for for Mary Jane's return?
05:54There is no information, Rafi.
05:56Officials of the government are mentioning that later we will be given a chance
06:01to ask the Indonesian government about their presence at the press conference
06:06that was held from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Philippines.
06:11There was a delay of one hour.
06:13The time here in Jakarta, Indonesia is 9 o'clock.
06:16The time there in the Philippines is until 10 p.m. when the press conference was held.
06:19And the chance, possible chance, Rafi,
06:23that the Philippine media and our camera will be able to capture Mary Jane Veloso
06:28after 15 years.
06:30Rafi.
06:32As mentioned by the Bureau of Corrections Director General Katapang,
06:35Mary Jane's orientation and diagnostic evaluation will be held for almost two months.
06:40In this time frame, can she be with her family?
06:43Does this mean that she cannot be with her family on Christmas Day?
06:50On Christmas Day, Rafi, definitely,
06:54as mentioned by Director General Katapang,
06:57full day, not mentioned how many hours, but full day,
07:00they gave a chance for Mary Jane's parents,
07:04her parents, her siblings,
07:07and her children to be with Mary Jane inside the correctional facility.
07:12After this,
07:14when she is under two months of processing,
07:17there is still a chance,
07:20the family of Mary Jane will still be given a chance
07:23to be with her countrymen
07:26while she is under the process of 55 days
07:30before she is transferred to a regular facility,
07:33the former cell of Cassandra Leong.
07:35Rafi.
07:37Unless, of course, she is given the clemency of the President.
07:39Good news, what you shared.
07:41Thank you very much.
07:43Emile, let's go.
