00:00Word had it she would make it back home before Christmas Day.

00:07Earlier today, people deep in that dialogue over Mary Jane Veloso's homeward bound trip

00:13began walking the talk.

00:15A mirthful Monday, everyone.

00:17I am William Theo here for PTV News Now.

00:21Again, read my lips, she's coming back.

00:24Mary Jane Veloso, 39 years of age, who spent more than half of her adult life behind bars

00:30and on death row in Indonesia over rap, she tried to sneak in some 2.6 kilos or 5.7 pounds

00:37of heroin unknowingly into Jakarta in 2010, is bound for home.

00:43She was caught with the pre-arranged stash of dope in her suitcase upon inspection at

00:48Jakarta airport and then probed, charged, and consequently shipped to a prison in Yogyakarta.

00:55Right now, she is back in Jakarta, some 260 miles away, where she was flown to, many believe,

01:02sometime over the weekend.

01:04From the Indonesian capital, she is reportedly set to hop on a Cebu Pacific flight a little

01:09after midnight Wednesday for her much-awaited and anticipated return flight back to the

01:16old country.

01:17Other than her midnight-hour flight on a Cebu airline, details on Veloso's return have

01:22been scanned or being kept under wraps.

01:27He ran primarily on the economy, vowing to fix its poor state and crippling inflation.

01:34So when President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in anew as the 47th President of the United

01:40States, Americans will hold him to such promise from then on.

01:44Then again, he backtracked on his vow to bring down grocery prices very recently in his Time

01:50Magazine Man of the Year interview.

01:53BOA's Scott Stearns has more.

01:57Donald Trump's campaign focus on the economy carried through to his victory speech.

02:02I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that

02:07our children deserve and that you deserve.

02:10A majority of voters said the economy and jobs were the most important issues in this

02:15election, says pollster Ashley Kirzinger.

02:18With so many voters focusing on the economy, AP Vocast finds that the share of voters who

02:24say that their household's family finances are falling behind has increased from four

02:29years ago.

02:30And on the economy, Kirzinger says, more people chose Trump.

02:34An overwhelming message from voters heard clearly on the losing side as well.

02:40Hakeem Jeffries leads Democrats in the House of Representatives.

02:43They want us to focus on the issues that matter and to come together to solve problems

02:50for hardworking American taxpayers, beginning with lowering costs for everyday Americans

02:56struggling to live paycheck to paycheck.

03:00In New Mexico, Judy Evans says she chose Trump because prices are too high.

03:06Inflation has certainly affected me.

03:07My grocery bill has doubled in the last two years.

03:16My electricity and that sort of thing has gone up quite a bit.

03:23In North Carolina, Aaron Anderson admires Trump's record on the economy.

03:28Trump, he's going to get it fixed for us.

03:31It was running good when he was in here before and get it back on track again.

03:37Senator Charles Boudreaux expects fast action from the new administration or they'll have

03:41less regulations.

03:42They'll be spending more in their in their particular areas.

03:46People that will have more money will spend more money in their particular areas.

03:50Gas prices will go down.

03:51U.S. consumers may not see such quick change, says finance professor Michael Weber.

03:57At the end of the day, a president in the short run, independent of who is in the White

04:03House, has very little grasp on economic policy in the very short run, but also in

04:11specifically on grocery prices, the prices of the shelf we face in our daily lives.

04:17Trump's economic plans include more oil drilling, lower taxes and import tariffs, which most

04:23economists believe will result in higher prices for American consumers.

04:27Scott Stearns, VOA News.

04:33And we've come to the end of our program this afternoon.

04:36Join us a new later on for the evening set of breaking stories at the hour.
