00:00Congratulations on the return of Mary Jane Veloso. We will talk to her parents, Cesar and Celia Veloso. Good morning.
00:09Good morning also.
00:11You've been waiting for 14 years. Have you been told when Mary Jane will be back home?
00:20Not yet. They haven't been told yet.
00:23Has the government talked to you directly to give this good news?
00:31Not yet, sir.
00:32Not yet. How did you know that this is the return of your daughter?
00:39From an international migrant.
00:44Did you have communication with your daughter and how is Mary Jane now?
00:48She's okay. One day, she called us and told us that she will be back here on December 15-19.
01:00I will be waiting for you so take care of yourself. That's what she told us.
01:05So the good news is that if you will go there, she will be the one to return home, right?
01:12Yes. I told her that she can go to Bertena on January.
01:19She can also go to the Philippine Embassy.
01:23She called us again and told us that she can't go because it's already 15-19.
01:28She knows that we will go there on December.
01:32Father, it's said that if she goes to the Philippines, Mary Jane will still be imprisoned and not directly to your house in Nueva Ecija.
01:40I'm okay with it. I want her to go because she can go home.
01:46If they will transfer her here, I hope they will transfer her to a safe place.
01:53The place where there is no flood. I hope they will put her there.
02:00Father Cesar, what is your reaction?
02:04What is your reaction that Mary Jane will still be imprisoned and will not go home to you?
02:10Yes, we are happy.
02:13But we are still worried that if she will be imprisoned in Manila,
02:19they should put my daughter in a safe place because her recruiter told us that they are the international syndicates.
02:31So we are still worried that they should put my daughter in a safe place.
02:38So until now, there is still a threat from the recruiter of Mary Jane?
02:46Yes. We are really worried because when my daughter was imprisoned, we told her not to be noisy father and mother because we are the international syndicates.
02:58We can handle it. We will pay you 5 million pesos.
03:05Just don't go near the people who are afraid of us. That's what they told us.
03:11Until now, are you still afraid father?
03:14Yes. We are still afraid because that's what they told us. That's why we are afraid.
03:25The lawyers of Mary Jane are advocating the so-called absolute clemency.
03:31As parents, is this also what you want?
03:35Yes. That's what we want. I hope that's what we want.
03:42I hope that when she will be transferred to the Philippines, they will send her home.
03:48In that good news, do you have a message to the President of Indonesia and to President Bambang Marcos?
03:53Yes. We are thankful to the President of Indonesia because for a long time,
04:02he was thinking of bringing his daughter back here. We are thankful.
04:11Thank you very much to the President of Indonesia and we are also thankful to our President here.
04:17When they acted on Mary Jane's case,
04:22we asked our President to put my daughter in a safe place.
04:32Don't send her to the Philippines because it's a serious request.
04:37What is the first thing you will cook for Mary Jane when she goes home?
04:42I will cook her favorite dish, Adobong Baboy.
04:49Is that your favorite dish?
04:51Yes. Adobong Baboy.
04:54Message to Mary Jane. Tai.
04:58My message to my daughter is to be careful.
05:03Love yourself and your loved ones.
05:08Show your love to your fellow countryman.
05:15That's my message to her.
05:17Nanny Celia.
05:19My message to Mary Jane is to take care of herself.
05:25Be strong because for a long time, she can handle it.
05:30She's about to go home.
05:31That's why she should be careful.
05:35She shouldn't worry about us.
05:38She should take care of herself.
05:40How are her children, Mary Jane?
05:45Her children are okay.
05:48They're studying.
05:51They're not looking for their parents anymore.
05:54Thank you very much.
05:55Thank you. Merry Christmas to all of you.
