00:00The Veloso family has decided to embrace Mary Jane, who will only be able to return to the Philippines for a few hours.
00:06What they want is just a few hours to be with Mary Jane before she is quarantined for five days in the Correctional Institute for Women.
00:16Joseph Moro is live. Joseph?
00:21Aside from that, Executive Clemency is what the Veloso family wants for Mary Jane after her 15 years of imprisonment in Indonesia.
00:37The parents of Mary Jane Veloso, who will only be able to return to the Philippines for a few hours, do not want their daughter to return from Indonesia.
00:45Mary Jane has been imprisoned in Indonesia for almost 15 years after she was caught with two kilos of heroin in her bag.
00:54I can't sleep, I can't eat.
00:57Mary Jane's siblings will also be evacuating to Manila from Nueva Ecija later tonight.
01:02They all hope to see Mary Jane as soon as she gets off the plane.
01:07The family's lawyer is appealing to the Department of Justice to see and hug Mary Jane even for a short while.
01:14We will definitely hug her, especially the two children, so that we won't get sick.
01:22That's our priority, the two children.
01:26Especially in the situation of Mary Jane, she hasn't been seen in the Philippines for almost 15 years.
01:33Even if they see her in the Philippines, it's only for a short while.
01:38It's only once in 15 years. That's important.
01:43But according to the Bureau of Corrections, upon arrival in the Philippines, Mary Jane will be quarantined for five days in the Correctional Institution for Women.
01:52The Veloso family is hoping that they will have a chance to see Mary Jane before she is quarantined here in the Correctional Institution for Women.
02:01If not, they might be able to see Mary Jane after her five-day quarantine.
02:07The Veloso family is thankful to Indonesia and the government of the Philippines.
02:12But they have one more wish upon arrival in the country of Mary Jane.
02:15I hope that upon arrival on the 24th, the President will immediately grant clemency so that she can go home.
02:22According to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, they have nothing to say about what might happen.
02:28The priority of President Bongbong Marcos is for Veloso to return to the country without delay.
02:34The President asked about Mary Jane during the inauguration of the One Stop OFW Action Center of the DMW.
02:40The President said,
02:43Celebrate!
02:51At this time, the Veloso family is still waiting for any advice from the government on what they can do or greet Mary Jane tomorrow.
03:00But until now, they have not contacted the parents or the camp of Mary Jane.
03:06Mel?
03:07Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
