00:00After almost 15 years, Mary Jane Veloso will be able to return to the Philippines on Wednesday
00:06according to officials in Indonesia and the Philippines.
00:09She will still be imprisoned when she arrives in the country,
00:12but her family is hoping that she will be given a pardon or executive clemency.
00:19Watch Joseph Moro.
00:25Mary Jane Veloso smiled at her move from prison in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
00:29to a detention facility in Jakarta.
00:34According to the Indonesian Acting Deputy for Immigration and Corrections Coordination,
00:38on Wednesday, December 18,
00:41Mary Jane will be flown back to the Philippines
00:44according to the Agence France-Presse.
00:46This was signed by DFA Undersecretary Edde Vega and Malacanang.
00:50Mary Jane's return is the result of more than a decade of continuous discussion,
00:54consultation, and diplomacy.
00:56This Saturday, the Veloso family will be going to Indonesia to visit their child before Christmas.
01:02But it was cancelled after receiving a DFA notice that Mary Jane's transfer to the country is being processed.
01:08We prepared her favorite food, Adobong Baboy.
01:14I don't know how to speak Tagalog.
01:17That's why when we talked,
01:20she wanted to speak in Tagalog, but later she said something else.
01:23She didn't remember what she said.
01:26She would change her words.
01:29Mary Jane's children couldn't wait for a year and six years
01:33to see their mother for the last time in 2010.
01:36I hugged her tightly.
01:37I missed her so much.
01:39I hope that before Christmas,
01:43my mother will be able to go home
01:46so that we can have a happy Christmas and a new year.
01:49This is what we always pray for every day,
01:53that we can be together.
01:57I'm happy for Christmas, but I'm not happy for my family.
02:01The Veloso family is hoping that at the end of their 15-year fight for Mary Jane,
02:08their family will reunite.
02:11In a statement, the DFA praised the President and thanked Indonesia
02:15and our Department of Justice for what they did.
02:19According to the National Union of People's Lawyers,
02:21Mary Jane's fate is already in the Philippines.
02:23Even if the case in Indonesia is legal,
02:25because the cost of the physical was already transferred here,
02:28the political cost is in the Philippines.
02:33We also requested to USEC de Vega that if Mary Jane is already in the Philippines,
02:38wherever airport she goes,
02:40the family will be the first to meet Mary Jane and hug her.
02:46Mary Jane will be sent to the Correctional Institute for Women
02:49where she will remain detained according to the DOJ.
02:52The Veloso family is asking for the Executive Clemency of the President.
