NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years of news in 24 hours.
00:12Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:16We just received this news, recommended by the Quad Committee of the Chamber of Investigation in POGO and extrajudicial killings,
00:25the incitement of the Quad Committee to crimes against humanity against the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:32Also on the subject, Senator Bato de la Rosa and Senator Bong Go, two former PNP heads and other personalities.
00:41We will bring you the complete news later.
00:46After 15 years of imprisonment, the Veloso family is now in tears of joy.
00:54In the return of Mary Jane, the Philippines was forced to leave Indonesia.
01:01Even at the airport, the emotions of the family members were high,
01:05especially when Mary Jane was directed to the correctional when they were not being embraced.
01:12That's why their emotions were even higher at the reunion.
01:16Joseph Moro was there.
01:22Upon meeting Mary Jane Veloso, her son Mark Daryl was rushed to the hospital.
01:30It was only a year since the mother was imprisoned in Indonesia in 2010.
01:35In that moment, she and her brother Mark Daniel felt the embrace of a mother.
01:42Mary Jane!
01:44While she was being called by her brothers,
01:46there was no brotherly embrace among the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong.
01:53That's why when Mary Jane faced the media,
02:01Mary Jane was quarantined for five days at the Correctional's Reception and Diagnostics Center
02:06before being transferred to a regular cell.
02:08Even now, they were allowed to celebrate Christmas together.
02:13The Veloso family celebrated this day for almost 15 years.
02:18That's why they were ready to go to the airport early in the morning.
02:22Aside from the flowers, they were holding high hopes
02:25since Mary Jane was imprisoned because of a thing that was given to her by a recruiter
02:30that contains heroin.
02:32Mom, what do you feel?
02:35I'm so happy.
02:37Every day, when we call her, we believe that she will be able to come home.
02:42I'm happier now than when we used to visit my mom.
02:46Because now, she's closer to us even though we visit her every day.
02:53On the way back to her memories,
02:55Celia's fear and anxiety for her daughter was still there.
02:58I don't know what happened.
03:00What were you thinking?
03:01I was thinking if my daughter was being abused there,
03:05what would happen to my daughter there?
03:07They went to the airport because they were told
03:10that they would have a chance to be with their daughter in the VIP lounge.
03:14We're already at the airport.
03:17I'm so happy to see you.
03:19I was thinking of going down to the beach.
03:25But what they were hoping for didn't happen.
03:27At the airport, they were able to cross the security line
03:31where Mary Jane will be passing through.
03:34As soon as Mary Jane boarded the plane at 6 in the morning,
03:37she was quickly put in an SUV.
03:40She wasn't alone.
03:41Her parents were waiting for her.
03:43Mary Jane!
03:49Her convoy couldn't do anything but watch
03:51while the fireworks were being lit for her daughter.
03:54I'm so sad.
03:56They made my daughter a criminal.
03:58She's innocent.
04:00They didn't show us a good thing.
04:02Mary Jane, we want to hug you.
04:10Their family knows
04:12through the lawyers
04:14that she shouldn't go to the airport
04:17because of security issues and health issues.
04:21And finally, the long-awaited reunion at the Correctional.
04:27Here, she will stay for two months
04:29before being transferred to Maximum Compound
04:31to serve her sentence of life imprisonment
04:34in Indonesia.
04:42For GMA Integrated News,
04:44Joseph Morong,
04:45for 24 Hours.
04:47Before the big reunion of the Veloso family,
04:50Mary Jane will say goodbye to her friends
04:54and those who helped her in Indonesia.
04:57I was with her on the flight back to the Philippines.
05:01And here's what I learned.
05:08At Jakarta Airport,
05:10the media first saw Mary Jane Veloso last night,
05:13past 9 o'clock,
05:15in Jakarta.
05:17Those who watched Mary Jane
05:19from the Indonesian and Philippine governments
05:21were surrounded.
05:23Mary Jane, Mary Jane,
05:25what do you want to say to the Filipinos?
05:27Thank you for everything.
05:29Go, go, go!
05:38From Yogyakarta, Indonesia,
05:40where she spent almost 15 years,
05:43Mary Jane was transferred last Sunday night
05:45to Jakarta
05:46as preparation for her return to the Philippines.
05:50On Tuesday night,
05:51Mary Jane was brought to the airport.
05:55She was taken by plane from prison.
05:59But it seemed like she was tired
06:01when she was able to talk to her family
06:03in a video call.
06:05Are you waiting for your mom?
06:07We're waiting for you at the airport.
06:09Yes.
06:11Brother!
06:13In a short interview,
06:14Mary Jane arrived,
06:15hoping to be released
06:17and be able to go home to her family.
06:19My hope is
06:21to be able to go home to my family.
06:23I want to be released
06:25and be able to go home to my family.
06:27I want to be released
06:29and be able to go home to my family.
06:31Last Sunday night in Jakarta,
06:33Mary Jane was formally turned over
06:35to the Philippines.
06:37She thanked everyone who helped her
06:39including the government of Indonesia
06:41and the Philippines.
06:43After being in prison for a long time,
06:45she became fluent in Bahasa Indonesia,
06:47the language of the Indonesians.
06:49I am very grateful
06:51and thank God
06:54that Mary Jane
06:56has been released
06:58and will be able
07:00to return to her country.
07:02Thank you very much.
07:04Before landing at the airport,
07:06Mary Jane saw her friends in Indonesia
07:08with the people who helped her
07:10and became her family
07:12while she was in prison.
07:14This poster has a message
07:16written in Bahasa.
07:18What does this mean in English?
07:20What does this mean?
07:22Safe trip.
07:24Safe trip.
07:26Back home.
07:28And a new life.
07:30A new life in the Philippines.
07:32They are happy
07:34and Mary Jane is now released.
07:36But they will never forget
07:38the Filipinos who helped
07:40and became a part of their lives
07:42in poverty and misery.
07:44At the time I was in college
07:46and my
07:48my colleagues asked me
07:50to attend her court
07:52her trial, I'm sorry.
07:54And then we find out that
07:56during the trial, she didn't get
07:58any fair trial.
08:00Early in the morning,
08:02Mary Jane boarded a commercial flight.
08:04She was placed at the end of the seat.
08:06After more than three hours
08:08of travel
08:10and almost 15 years
08:12of imprisonment in Indonesia,
08:14Mary Jane returned to the Philippines.
08:16Guarded by the NBI,
08:18by the Bureau of Corrections and Immigration,
08:20escorted out of the country
08:22Mary Jane seemed to have a bad feeling
08:24about her fate.
08:26According to the Bucor,
08:28Mary Jane was given a medicine for a stomach upset.
08:30She was taken to
08:32Walang Abalang, Lagusan
08:34until she is released
08:36and a car will be driven to her
08:38at the Correctional Institution for Women
08:40in Mandaluyong.
08:42For GMA Integrated News,
08:44Emil Sumangil, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
08:47Mayor Enrico Roque
08:49and two others were arrested
08:51by the Mayor of Pandibulacan
08:53due to
08:55violent behavior
08:57in 2019
08:59in Caloocan.
09:01According to the Bikima,
09:03he was drunk
09:05while three NKATUTOKs were on duty.
09:07Oscar Oida
09:09You have the right
09:11to file a complaint
09:13and have the approval
09:15of your own choice.
09:17While at a Christmas party
09:19in a resort in Bulacan,
09:21Mayor Enrico Roque was arrested
09:23by the police.
09:25The video of the arrest
09:27was blurred
09:29by the Northern Police District Special Operations Unit.
09:31Mayor Roque was arrested
09:33by the Councilor John John Rojas
09:35and an employee of the
09:37Municipality of Pandi
09:39in the form of a warrant of arrest
09:41issued by Caloocan RTC
09:43due to the rape case.
09:45Peacefully,
09:47after the program,
09:49I approached the Mayor
09:51informing him that
09:53he has a warrant of arrest
09:55including the Miranda Rights
09:57of the accused.
09:59Peacefully,
10:01the Mayor submitted.
10:05The complainant filed
10:07a complaint of rape in 2019.
10:09According to the complainant,
10:11Roque was invited to his house
10:13to have a drink.
10:15When he felt drunk,
10:17he ran away
10:19while being followed by three suspects.
10:21Our three suspects
10:23were accused of two counts of rape
10:25and there was
10:27a probable cause
10:29so Judge Maria Ruena
10:31Bialago Alejandro
10:33issued a warrant of arrest.
10:35Currently,
10:37Mayor Roque is in jail
10:39We spoke to
10:41Attorney John Patrick Paredes
10:43who introduced one of the
10:45lawyers assisting the
10:47suspects.
10:49For now, they will not
10:51give any comment.
10:53For GMA Integrated News,
10:55Oscar Oida,
10:5724 Hours.
10:59To lower the price of rice,
11:01cheaper rice will be sold
11:03in neighboring markets
11:05along with rice millers, traders
11:07and importers.
11:09At the same time,
11:11some rice mills in Bulacan
11:13were opened.
11:15Bernadette Reyes was there.
11:19Millers, traders
11:21and importers
11:23announced that
11:25the Bureau of Customs
11:27will open the rice mills
11:29in Bulacan.
11:31The Bureau of Customs is investigating
11:33the high price of rice
11:35in Bulacan.
11:37The BOC gave 15 days
11:39for the closed rice mills
11:41to submit documents.
11:43We are looking for proof of payment of duties.
11:45In the meantime,
11:47since our country needs
11:49cheap supply of rice,
11:51we will open
11:53and monitor the output
11:55of rice from their rice mills.
11:57In a dialogue between
11:59millers, traders, importers
12:01and the government,
12:03the high price of rice started.
12:05Our problem is
12:07a national problem.
12:09The price of rice is high
12:11wherever we go.
12:13Who decides?
12:15Will you tell me, tell us?
12:17Is it the retailer who earns a lot?
12:19I don't know
12:21the costing of retailers
12:23and why they have high retails.
12:25That's why we
12:27are lowering the price
12:29because you will look pitiful
12:31who will buy from you if it's expensive.
12:33The Department of Agriculture submitted
12:35the complete list of wholesalers and retailers
12:37who buy from the millers
12:39to study who is selling
12:41at a high price.
12:43To help in lowering
12:45the price of rice,
12:47the millers, traders, and importers
12:49will collaborate to sell
12:51cheap rice to neighboring markets
12:53if the price is high.
12:55According to the Center City Rice Mill Owners
12:57and Traders Association,
12:59they can sell rice to wholesalers
13:01and retailers.
13:03That's why they can sell rice
13:05at the price of 40 to 45 pesos
13:07per kilo so that
13:09buyers can buy.
13:11Let's do 40 first.
13:13If it's sustainable at 30, 36, 38,
13:15we will do it.
13:17We are willing to help the government
13:19so that we can always have
13:21cheap rice that our citizens can buy.
13:23According to the DA,
13:25rice will be sold through the
13:27Center City Rice Mill Owners and Traders Association
13:29as soon as possible to help
13:31during Christmas season.
13:33For GMA Integrated News,
13:35Bernadette Reyes, 24 Hours.
13:37Less than two weeks
13:39before New Year's Eve 2025,
13:41there was an increase
13:43in sales
13:45at rice and rice mills.
13:47Smuggled rice
13:49or illegal rice
13:51that is sold online
13:53is being watched closely.
13:55This is the new generation.
13:59The rise of
14:01Baguio Christine,
14:03Karina,
14:05and Pipito.
14:09They are now based
14:11on the names of new
14:13smugglers.
14:15That's why PNP is closely monitoring them.
14:17Just by the name,
14:19you know what will happen
14:21if you are smuggled.
14:23If there are smugglers
14:25who want to follow the law,
14:27we are always affected
14:29by such illegal activities.
14:31That's why PNP inspected
14:33several rice mills in Bukawai, Bulacan.
14:35Local manufacturers
14:37brought the problem of
14:39selling illegal rice
14:41on social media platforms.
14:43We have to protect the legal.
14:45Because there are many illegal activities
14:47done by the police,
14:49not only on the road
14:51but we also inspect
14:53those online.
14:55There are many online sellers.
14:57We are together
14:59to fight against the online selling
15:01of these illegal
15:03firecrackers.
15:05Aside from the illegal online selling
15:07of firecrackers,
15:09the local industry also has a big problem
15:11with the addition of cheaper smuggled products.
15:13This is the reason
15:15why the price of local
15:17lights and firecrackers
15:19is increasing.
15:21Despite the challenges
15:23faced by the industry,
15:25sellers, dealers,
15:27and manufacturers of firecrackers
15:29can now breathe easily.
15:31Because of December,
15:33their income increased by 20%
15:35compared to last year.
15:37If you want to buy,
15:39the Department of Trade and Industry
15:41said that you need to check
15:43the label of the product.
15:45There is a Philippine Standard Mark
15:47for the manufacturer.
15:49Don't buy products
15:51like firecrackers
15:53that don't have a complete label
15:55or complete information.
15:57If an online seller
15:59comes, you don't know
16:01how safe it is
16:03because the quality
16:05is not measured
16:07by the DTI.
16:09For GMA Integrated News,
16:11I'm Jun Veneracion,
16:13for 24 Hours.
16:17Happy Midweek, Kapuso!
