00:00The father of Mary Jane Veloso, the Filipina on Indonesian death row about to be transferred
00:06to the Philippines, appeals to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., please keep her safe from her
00:11illegal recruiter.
00:12In a DZBB radio interview, Cesar Veloso first appealed to Marcos for clemency.
00:18But he says, if he must still detain her, I hope they keep her in a safe place because
00:22we are afraid.
00:23Cristina Serio threatened us about how they were part of an international syndicate.
00:27Cristina Serio is one of Mary Jane's recruiters who facilitated her journey to Yogyakarta
00:32in 2010.
00:33Serio's partner, Julius Lakanilaw, handed Mary Jane a suitcase lined with heroin, which
00:39she unwittingly carried to Indonesia.
00:41Serio and Lakanilaw were found guilty of illegal recruitment in a separate case and were sentenced
00:46to life imprisonment.
00:47Still, the Veloso family fears retribution from the international syndicate behind Serio
00:52and Lakanilaw.
