00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:05It's been a long time since Mary Jane Veloso returned to her country.
00:11The OFW was helped and arrested by the BTAI in Indonesia
00:16after being caught with drugs in a suitcase that she was carrying in 2010.
00:24Early in the morning, hours in the Philippines,
00:28Mary Jane was on a trip and was not arrested.
00:31According to the Bureau of Corrections, she was wearing body armor.
00:35From Jakarta, Indonesia, I'm Emil Sumang.
00:42We went to the place where Mary Jane Veloso was transferred to Jakarta
00:47as a preparation for her return to the Philippines.
00:51We traveled for less than 30 minutes from the center of Jakarta
00:57and we arrived at the Women's Correctional Facility.
01:02It's still a part of Indonesia.
01:05Mary Jane Veloso is being held here.
01:09We were instructed to follow the facility.
01:12We were told to take a video.
01:13Just stay here.
01:14Don't go through the back door.
01:16As you can see, this is the reception area of the prison.
01:21Mary Jane Veloso's lawyers are present here
01:25along with several members of the NGO based here in Indonesia
01:29who are helping Mary Jane since she was arrested and imprisoned
01:33more than 10 years ago.
01:37We met Wen, an Indonesian member of the NGO who helped Mary Jane
01:43since she was imprisoned more than 10 years ago.
01:46He gave me a picture of Mary Jane's nails and artwork.
01:53Mary Jane has a face and in the middle,
01:55there's a poem about her experience of being imprisoned in a foreign country.
02:04It is very happy for me, myself, and for our organization
02:08because it's 10 years already with her.
02:11It's really touching.
02:16Because every year, I visit her in Yogyakarta.
02:21From the Women's Detention Facility,
02:23Mary Jane will be transported to the airport at 8 p.m. here in Jakarta.
02:28A press conference will be held at the airport.
02:30According to the Bucor, she won't be arrested
02:33and she won't be wearing body armor.
02:36Early in the morning in the Philippines,
02:39Mary Jane will fly back to the Philippines.
02:42She will board a commercial flight
02:44and the trip will last for more than 3 hours.
02:46The Bureau of Corrections,
02:48National Bureau of Investigation,
02:50and the Department of Foreign Affairs
02:52are in charge of taking care of Mary Jane's safe return home.
02:56Once she lands in Naia,
02:58around 5 a.m.,
03:00she will be directed to the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong
03:04as part of the 5-day quarantine protocol.
03:07The instruction is not to be at the airport
03:09because, as you know, our airport is busy.
03:12It's a holiday.
03:13So we will be distracting or disrupting the operations.
03:17So we want a smooth transfer.
03:21Mary Jane will only be with her family at the Correctional Institution
03:24after the quarantine protocol.
03:26If she will be transported tonight,
03:29we will have a 5-day countdown.
03:33On Christmas Eve,
03:35she can visit her family for the whole day.
03:39Mary Jane will be placed in a cell
03:41where Cassandra Leong used to stay.
03:44She was released from our custody.
03:46We turned her over to the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Congress.
03:50She will stay in the vacant room.
03:56There is a bathroom, bedding,
03:58and of course, if she has a visitor,
04:01there will be a hallway,
04:04a space for them to talk.
04:07But even after the 5-day quarantine,
04:09Mary Jane still needs to stay in the Correctional Institution
04:12for 60 days based on the guidelines of the Bucor.
04:15It is still unclear
04:16when she will be released completely
04:18or if President Marcos will pardon her
04:21when she arrives in the Philippines.
04:23Atom, Mel.
04:25It's time here in Jakarta, Indonesia.

04:30The first time the press conference was held
04:33was from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

04:38but it was rescheduled again to 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
