Mary Jane Veloso returning to PH after 14 years of imprisonment in Indonesia: Marcos Jr.

MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday thanked the Indonesian government for approving the return of death row convict Mary Jane Veloso to the Philippines to serve her sentence.
​

Veloso — who was arrested in 2010 for carrying 2.6 kilograms of ****** in her luggage — was supposed to be executed in 2015 until the last-minute arrest of her recruiter, who allegedly stashed the îllégâl drugs in her bags without her knowledge.

“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to President Prabowo Subianto and the Indonesian government for their goodwill,” he said.

“This outcome is a reflection of the depth of our nation’s partnership with Indonesia—united in a shared commitment to justice and compassion,” he said.

“Thank you, Indonesia. We look forward to welcoming Mary Jane home.”

In 2022, Marcos Jr. traveled to Indonesia for his first state visit as Philippine president and brought up Veloso’s case during his meeting with then-President Joko Widodo.

Marcos Jr. said he raised the issue again the following year and asked his Indonesian counterpart to “reexamine” Veloso’s case.

“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,” Marcos said.

“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,” he said.

“While she was held accountable under Indonesian law, she remains a victim of her circumstances,” he said.

In a radio interview, Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega said that the Philippine government hoped to bring Veloso home “in time for Christmas.”
