00:00The Bureau of Corrections, or Bureau of Correctional Services,
00:04has a strict study of Mary Jane Veloso's claim of clemency.
00:07Meanwhile, the Bureau of Correctional Services will allow Mary Jane's family
00:10and the persons deprived of liberty
00:13to celebrate Christmas and New Year together.
00:18This is Kit Pilote of Radyo Pilipinas for Balitang Pambansa.
00:22This is Mary Jane Veloso's request to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:33when she arrived at the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandalayong City, Indonesia.
00:39At the interview of Radyo Pilipinas with Bureau of Corrections Director General Gregorio Catapang Jr.,
00:45they first met during Veloso's quarantine.
00:48Catapang also explained that they need to read Mary Jane's prison record
00:53because it is written in Bahasa language.
01:19We will request the English version of her prison record.
01:25The Bureau of Correctional Services also plans to form a board
01:28to study if Mary Jane can qualify under the Good Conduct and Time Allowance
01:33to count the years of her imprisonment in Indonesia.
01:37According to our new GCCA,
01:41those who were imprisoned under PDL under BGMP before being transferred to us were counted.
01:50So that can be our basis that she was imprisoned even though she was not under BGMP,
01:57we can count her imprisonment in Indonesia as well.
02:04If the Bureau of Correctional Services will allow it, there will be no special treatment for Veloso.
02:08In fact, on the eve of Christmas,
02:10her family will be reunited and her quarantine will end.
02:15Meanwhile, the Bureau of Correctional Services will also give the family of persons deprived of liberty
02:21an opportunity to spend the night there so that they can celebrate together on Christmas Eve.
