Mahigit isang dekadang natanggalan ng pagkakataon ang mga anak ni Mary Jane Veloso na makapiling ang kanilang ina dahil sa death row sa Indonesia. Kaya ang pag-uwi ni Veloso labis nilang ikinatuwa, pero may halo pa rin umanong takot.

00:00More than a decade has passed since the birth of Mary Jane Veloso's children
00:07who were able to be with their mother because of the death row in Indonesia.
00:11They were very happy with Veloso's return, but there was still a mix of fear.
00:17Their call to the President was to support Darlene Cai.
00:25Darlene was only two years old when her mother abroad, Mary Jane Veloso,
00:29who was supposed to be Mary Jane's way to help her family,
00:34was sent home to Bangungot, where she was jailed and sentenced to death in Indonesia.
00:40Because of that, her recruiters said that she didn't know that she was carrying two kilos of heroin.
00:47So, within more than 14 years, Darlene and her brother grew up without being with their mother.
00:54Sometimes, I get jealous. Sometimes, I get jealous.
00:56Sometimes, I think that if my mother was there, I would be with her.
01:00It's hard because sometimes, I was bullied in school.
01:04My parents said that I was jailed.
01:10But we didn't notice it because when I was sentenced,
01:16nothing would happen. So, we didn't notice it.
01:20Darlene is now 17 years old.
01:22After more than a decade of waiting, the Lord heard her prayer.
01:29After being informed by the Philippines and Indonesia that Mary Jane will be sent home.
01:34I hope that when she comes home, we will do all the happy things with her.
01:42So that we can make up for the time that she was not there.
01:47Mary Jane's parents, Father Cesar and Mother Celia, are also not happy.
01:53Mary Jane's room is now ready here in their house in Nueva Ecija.
01:57Mary Jane, this is your room. When you come home, you will sleep here.
02:03Mary Jane is the daughter of five siblings.
02:06They think that it's just hard and painful
02:09when they realize that after more than 14 years, she is in the brink of death.
02:16I taught my children to be afraid of God.
02:21That's why it's painful that my daughter committed a sin.
02:27That's why it's so painful.
02:29But Mary Jane's family still feels that she will be sent home.
02:34They are afraid for her safety here
02:37because Mary Jane's recruiter used to guard them.
02:41We feel sorry for her. We don't know that she is afraid.
02:46I don't know.
02:49But compared to my own son, I want my daughter to be in jail in Indonesia.
02:56But I don't want her to live there.
03:00I also want her to be here.
03:03So, it's up to God.
03:06That's why they are calling for the safety of Mary Jane
03:10when she goes home to the Philippines.
03:12But what really makes them happy is...
03:15I hope that when my daughter goes home, she won't be jailed.
03:22She will be sent home so that we can take care of her.
03:27Why?
03:28Because we are very attached to my daughter.
03:32I really want to hold her tight.
03:35As long as she is in Indonesia,
03:39I hope that they will send her home right away.
03:45The Veloso family has yet to talk to Mary Jane about the new development in her case.
03:50But in a statement read by her prison warden,
03:53Mary Jane said that she is very happy that she had the opportunity
03:57to go home and be with her family here in the Philippines.
04:01She thanked everyone who helped her come back to her country.
04:07For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, for 24 Hours.
