Inanunsyo ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. na babalik na sa Pilipinas ang Pilipinang si Mary Jane Veloso, na sinentensyahan ng death penalty sa Indonesia dahil sa kasong drug trafficking.
"Mary Jane Veloso is coming home," mababasa sa Facebook post ni PBBM, Miyerkules, Nobyembre 20.
"Arrested in 2010 on drug trafficking charges and sentenced to death, Mary Jane’s case has been a long and difficult journey."
"After over a decade of diplomacy and consultations with the Indonesian government, we managed to delay her execution long enough to reach an agreement to finally bring her back to the Philippines."
"Mary Jane’s story resonates with many : a mother trapped by the grip of poverty, who made one desperate choice that altered the course of her life. While she was held accountable under Indonesian law, she remains a victim of her circumstances."
Nagpasalamat naman si PBBM sa pangulo ng Indonesia at sa kaniyang administrasyon dahil sa kanilang "goodwill."
"I extend my heartfelt gratitude to President Prabowo Subianto and the Indonesian government for their goodwill. This outcome is a reflection of the depth our nation’s partnership with Indonesia—united in a shared commitment to justice and compassion."
"Thank you, Indonesia. We look forward to welcoming Mary Jane home."
Samantala, hindi naman nabanggit ni PBBM ang detalye ng eksaktong petsa ng pagbabalik ni Veloso sa bansa, at kung sino ang mag-eescort sa kaniya.
