00:00Naku, matagal na trabaho yan. That took a long time. Well, since I came into office, what we were working on was tanggalin na siya sa death row unang-una, to commute her sentence to life.
00:20Nung nangyari yan, when we were able to achieve that, we continued to work with them. It was still with the Widodo government at the time na kung papano, how we will do it para pauwiin. Mabuti na lang that our relations with Indonesia, our relations with then-President Widodo and all of his people, together with our relations now with the new President, President Prabowo.
00:50They did this. Gumawa sila ng paraan para, sabi nila wala naman silang interest na ikulong, wala naman silang interest na i-execute si Mary Jane Veloso. Ngunit kaya naman, sabi nila hanap-hanap na lang tayo ng paraan and they did it for us.
01:20... President Widodo, President Prabowo ngayon. Dahil kung hindi sa kanilang pagsangayon, hindi natin nagawa ito. But as I said, we have been working on this for all the previous presidents, di lang ako, 10 years na ito. Pero ang nagawa natin, napakommute natin ng sentensya niya from death sentence to life imprisonment. Tapos ang nasunod doon ay napauwi na natin.
01:50We will have to decide what will happen next.
02:20.
