00:25After more than 10 years of imprisonment in Indonesia,
00:30Mary Jane De Loso will be able to return to the Philippines.
00:34This is what Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin confirmed in a statement
00:38while thanking the Indonesian government.
00:41In fact, according to the information of the Philippine Foreign Affairs Department,
00:45Mary Jane arrived in the country at 6 a.m.
00:49Early in the morning, she will leave for Jakarta, Indonesia,
00:54after she moved there from Yogyakarta last Sunday.
00:58According to Executive Secretary Bersamin,
01:00this is the result of the efforts of the government to bring De Loso back
01:04through a good discussion between the two countries and the implementation of diplomacy.
01:09The government also insisted that the conditions of Indonesia
01:14for the transfer of De Loso to the jurisdiction of the Philippines should be equal.
01:17However, the administration insisted that Mary Jane's return to her own country and family
01:24that she has not been with for a long time.
01:26According to the Bureau of Corrections,
01:28the country's delegation is currently in Indonesia
01:31to bring De Loso to the presidency of the Bucor Director General Gregorio Pio Katapang Jr.
01:36as the leader of Oplan Sundonesia.
01:39Upon arrival in the country, Mary Jane will serve as a newly committed PDL
01:45in the Correctional Institution for Women
01:48where medical observations such as medical and physical examinations will be conducted
01:52to ensure that De Loso's physical and mental health is in good condition.
01:57De Loso will remain in the Reception and Diagnostic Center for less than 60 days.
02:02Fifty-five days here are for orientation, diagnostic evaluation, and initial security classification.
02:09After that, she will be transferred to her own cell
02:12according to the Resolution of the Reception and Diagnostic Center Classification Board.
02:17After the five-day quarantine that will end on December 24,

02:24The Bucor assured that De Loso and her illegal recruiter will be detained in a separate facility
02:30to ensure that they will not be seen.
02:32But now that Mary Jane will be placed under the jurisdiction of the Philippines,
02:36it is possible that the government's clemency will be used against her.
02:40Bersamin insisted that it is too early to talk about what may happen
02:45because President Marcos Jr.'s current target is not to delay the return of De Loso to the country.

02:54after being arrested at Yogyakarta Airport in 2010
02:57for the heroin found in her luggage.
03:00She was sentenced to death in the same year
03:03but was released from her execution in 2015
