00:00 Along with the help of the President of Indonesia, the family and supporters of the oppressed Philippines in Indonesia, Mary Jane Veloso,
00:10 sent a letter to the two leaders to free and exonerate the justice that Mary Jane has been looking for for more than a decade.
00:21 That's what JP Soriano is talking about.
00:26 Mary Jane Veloso smiled when her family talked to her on video chat four days before Christmas.
00:33 And on Christmas, with the help of the Foreign Affairs Department, they brought Mary Jane to her cell in Indonesia, where she has been imprisoned for almost 14 years.
00:45 We are very happy and we are together on Christmas. Because we haven't been together for years on Christmas.
00:52 Despite her smiles, her daughter Mark said,
00:56 She is stressed. She lost weight. She looks older. Her friends are free.
01:05 He mentioned that in the program hosted by the family and the groups that help her in front of the entrance of Malacanang.
01:13 Along with the help of Indonesian President Joko Widodo to President Bongbong Marcos in the palace, it seems that Mary Jane's heart is already weakening.
01:22 And the following questions.
01:24 When will the prisoners be released? Will they be released? The real owner is already in prison.
01:30 And it was said that why the prisoners are not yet released?
01:34 The accused, who was sentenced, are those who sent the luggage to Mary Jane in Indonesia, which she did not know was drug-related.
01:43 Because of that, she was sentenced to death in Indonesia in 2010, although she was given a temporary reprieve by the Indonesian court.
01:52 So the punishment was not continued.
01:55 Her family was angry because the evidence proved that Mary Jane was just a victim and was fooled by the recruiters.
02:03 She should be released.
02:05 If there's a crime, I will not cry like this. We accept it.
02:10 Now, she has no crime. That's why I raised my children. You should fear God.
02:17 The Veloso family will receive two letters from President Widodo and President BBM
02:25 for their appeal to release and give justice to Mary Jane Veloso.
02:33 In the middle of the program in Mendiola, Mary Jane's mother, Cecelia, fainted.
02:38 Although she was given a first aid, the family did not join in delivering the letter to Malacanang.
02:44 They only let her receive it in the palace.
02:48 The Department of Foreign Affairs said that the visit of the Indonesian President was established as a way to show Mary Jane's willingness to witness against her recruiters.
02:59 The court can send questions to Veloso to answer.
03:03 President Marcos hopes that the hearing of this case will bring him back to clemency or forgiveness to be released.
