00:00After more than 14 years, the prisoner of the Philippines in Indonesia, Mary Jane Veloso, has finally returned to the Philippines.
00:18Before leaving Jakarta, Veloso thanked everyone who came to her home.
00:24Her last days in Indonesia until returning to the Philippines were awaited by Emil Sumangil and here is her hot news.
00:32Thank you very much.
00:43The return of Mary Jane Veloso to the Philippines was fulfilled by more than a decade of prayers and prayers.
00:50Mary Jane was arrested and sentenced in 2010 after being caught with more than 2 kilos of heroin in her luggage at the airport in Yogyakarta.
01:01In the past, she was just wearing her recruiter's luggage and she did not know that illegal drugs were hidden there.
01:09It is still the same as what she is saying now.
01:12I want to be free. Clemency is not a crime.
01:18Okay, why?
01:19Because I have no sin there.
01:21When she arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, the Philippines and Indonesia signed her return to the Philippines.
01:30Mary Jane learned to speak Indonesian and that is the language she used at the press conference.
01:38I am very grateful and thank God.
01:43Finally, the prayers of Mary have been answered today.
01:47I will return to my country.
01:50I am sure and believe that God has a beautiful plan in my life.
01:56I want to thank first of all the respected President Prabowo Subianto.
02:08Mary Jane is very grateful to Indonesia for providing her second home.
02:14I love Indonesia.
02:17Mary Jane also sang a part of the Indonesian National Anthem.
02:22Indonesia Raya
02:24Maldeka, Maldeka
02:26Tanah kunagrikuyang kucinta
02:31Indonesia Raya
02:34Maldeka, Maldeka
02:36Hidupla Indonesia Raya
02:43Mary Jane told us that she was treated well while she was imprisoned in a women's penitentiary in Yogyakarta.
02:51Everyone is good.
02:53Her job is good.
02:54Her family is good.
02:56Everyone is good.
02:58You can talk to anyone in the country.
03:01Although she is sad that she has to leave Indonesia, she is more excited to be with her family, especially her two children.
03:09I am also sad.
03:11But I have to go home because I have a family there waiting for me.
03:16My children are waiting for me.
03:18And I want to celebrate Christmas there with my family.
03:26After a few hours in the penitentiary, Mary Jane is back in the Philippines.
03:30She is under surveillance by the Bureau of Corrections and the National Bureau of Investigation.
03:37Her family has been waiting for her at Terminal 3 for a long time to welcome her.
03:42But...
03:49They were just excited to see her at the airport.
03:52Her father was very upset.
03:55They didn't treat us well.
03:58They didn't treat us well.
04:05We want to hug her.
04:14Mary Jane was immediately sent to the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong.
04:18Along with her return to the Philippines, the Indonesian authorities determined that Mary Jane will not be able to return there because of her case.
