MANILA, Philippines — Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipino death row inmate in Indonesia, is coming home, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced Wednesday.
In a statement, Marcos extended his heartfelt gratitude to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and the Indonesian government for their 'goodwill.''Mary Jane Veloso is coming home. Arrested in 2010 on drug trafficking charges and sentenced to death, Mary Jane 's case has been a long and difficult journey,' Marcos said.
'After over a decade of diplomacy and consultations with the Indonesian government, we managed to delay her execution long enough to reach an agreement to finally bring her back to the Philippines,' he added.Marcos said Veloso's story resonates with many: a mother trapped by the grip of poverty, who made one desperate choice that altered the course of her life.''While she was held accountable under Indonesian law, she remains a victim of her circumstances,' Marcos said.
