Mary Jane Veloso is returning home-FMJ
By Nidz Godino
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to President Prabowo Subianto and the Indonesian government for their goodwill…this outcome is reflection of depth our nation’s partnership with Indonesia united in shared commitment to justice and compassion,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.said after 14 years of incarceration in Indonesia Filipina domestic worker Mary Jane Veloso is coming home.
The President made announcement on Wednesday, November 20.
“We look forward to welcoming Mary Jane home,” Marcos said.
Veloso was detained by Indonesian authorities in 2010 for drug trafficking. She was sentenced to death but granted reprieve during presidency of Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III in 2015.
There has been 14 year campaign to bring Veloso home, whose detainment has stretched across three administrations.
“After over decade of diplomacy and consultations with Indonesian government, we managed to delay her execution long enough to reach agreement to finally bring her back to the Philippines,” Marcos said.
Marcos described Veloso as victim of her circumstances.
“Mary Jane’s story resonates with many: mother trapped by grip of poverty, who made one desperate choice that altered course of her life,” Marcos stressed.
Indonesian government has been setting policies that would allow Veloso and other similar cases to go home.
