00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:05It's been hours since we've been waiting for Mary Jane Veloso to return to her country.
00:11The OFW, who was helped and put under house arrest in Indonesia
00:16after being caught with drugs in a suitcase that she was carrying,
00:21happened last year, 2010.
00:25Early in the morning, hours here in the Philippines,
00:28Mary Jane will be traveling and will not be wearing her body armor
00:33according to the Bureau of Corrections.
00:35From Jakarta, Indonesia, this is Emil Sumang.
00:42We went to the place where Mary Jane Veloso was transferred to Jakarta
00:47as a preparation for her return to the Philippines.
00:51It took us about 30 minutes to travel from the center of Jakarta
00:57and we arrived at the Women's Correctional Facility.
01:02It's still part of Indonesia.
01:05Mary Jane Veloso is being held here.
01:09We were instructed to follow the facility,
01:12to take a video as long as it's here.
01:14Don't go past the back door.
01:16Behind me, as you can see, is the reception area of the prison.
01:21The lawyers of Mary Jane Veloso are present,
01:25along with several members of the NGO based here in Indonesia
01:29who are helping Mary Jane since she was arrested and put under house arrest
01:34more than 10 years ago.
01:37Here, we met Wen,
01:39an Indonesian member of the NGO who helped Mary Jane
01:43since she was imprisoned 10 years ago.
01:46She gave me a picture of Mary Jane's teeth
01:50and this artwork, which is also her teeth.
01:53Mary Jane's face is on it and in the middle,
01:55the poem she wrote contains her experience
02:00when she was imprisoned in a foreign country.
02:04It is very happy for me, myself, and for our organization
02:08because it's 10 years already with her.
02:11It's really touching.
02:16Because every year, I visit her in Yogyakarta.
02:21From the Women's Detention Facility,
02:23Mary Jane will travel to the airport at around 8 p.m. here in Jakarta.
02:28At the airport, there will be a press conference.
02:30She will not be arrested according to the Bucor.
02:33She will not be wearing body armor.
02:36Early in the morning, around that time in the Philippines,
02:39Mary Jane will fly back to the Philippines.
02:42She will board a commercial flight
02:44and the trip will last for more than 3 hours.
02:46Bureau of Corrections,
02:48National Bureau of Investigation,
02:50and the Department of Foreign Affairs
02:52have decided to take care of Mary Jane's safe return home.
02:56Once she lands, around 5 a.m.,
03:00she will be directed to the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong
03:04as part of the 5-day quarantine protocol.
03:07The instruction is not to be at the airport
03:09because as you know, our airport is busy on holidays.
03:13So we will be disrupting the operations.
03:17So we want a smooth transfer.
03:21Mary Jane will only be with her family at the Correctional Institution
03:24after the quarantine protocol.
03:26If she will be transported tonight,
03:29we will have a 5-day countdown.
03:32Exactly.
03:33On Christmas Eve,
03:35she can have a family visit.
03:38That's for the whole day.
03:39Mary Jane will be placed in a cell
03:41where Cassandra Leong used to stay.
03:44She was released from our custody.
03:46We turned her over to the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Congress.
03:50Her room is vacant.
03:52That's where Mary Jane will stay for the time being.
03:56There's a bathroom, bedding.
03:58And then of course, if she has a visitor,
04:01there's a hallway, a space for them to talk.
04:07But even after the 5-day quarantine,
04:10Mary Jane still needs to stay at the Correctional Institution
04:12for 60 days based on the guidelines of the Bucor.
04:15It's still unclear when she will be released
04:18or if President Marcos will pardon her when she arrives in the Philippines.
04:24Atom, Mel.
04:26It's time here in Jakarta, Indonesia.

04:55and is still under the care of the Indonesian government's detention facility.
05:01Officials of the Department of Foreign Affairs,
05:05Bureau of Corrections, and National Bureau of Investigation
