00:00Meanwhile, it has been 14 years since Mary Jane Veloso returned to the Philippines.
00:07Before she left for Jakarta, Indonesia, last night,
00:11Veloso's gratitude to those who were with her on her way home was immense.
00:15Here is the first news.
00:18To the Philippines, please.
00:19Please, to your parents.
00:20I am thankful to all of you.
00:22Go, go, go.
00:24Thank you very much, thank you very much.
00:28We are waiting for you at the airport.
00:30Yes.
00:31How are you?
00:32Brother.
00:35This is the outcome of more than a decade of prayers by Mary Jane Veloso.
00:40When she arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta,
00:43the Philippines and Indonesia signed her return to the Philippines.
00:48Mary Jane is learning to speak Indonesian,
00:51and that is the language she used at the press conference.
00:54I am thankful and grateful to God.
00:59Finally, Mary's prayers have been answered today.
01:03I will return to my country,
01:06and I am sure and confident
01:08that I would like to thank
01:12first and foremost,
01:16President Prabowo Subianto.
01:20Mary Jane's gratitude to Indonesia
01:22for providing her second home.
01:24I love Indonesia.
01:28Mary Jane also sang a part of the Indonesian National Anthem.
01:31Indonesia Raya,
01:33Margeta, Margeta,
01:36I love you, my brother.
01:41Indonesia Raya,
01:43Margeta, Margeta,
01:46I love you, Indonesia Raya.
01:52Great!
01:54Mary Jane said that she was treated well
01:57while she was imprisoned in a women's penitentiary in Yogyakarta.
02:00Everyone is good.
02:02Her job is good.
02:03Her relationship with her husband is good.
02:05She is a good person.
02:07You can talk to her.
02:08Just let me go home.
02:10Although she is sad about leaving Indonesia,
02:13she is happy to be with her family,
02:15especially her two children.
02:17I am also happy.
02:20But I have to go home
02:22because I have a family there
02:24who are waiting for me.
02:25My children are waiting for me.
02:27I want to celebrate Christmas there
02:30with my family.
02:33The Velloso family
02:34waited early in Naya Terminal 3
02:36for Mary Jane's arrival.
02:37The Indonesian authorities said
02:39that she can't go back there
02:41because of her case.
02:42Mary Jane was arrested and imprisoned in 2010
02:45after she was caught
02:47with more than 2 kilos of heroin in her suitcase.
02:49She was so angry that she asked her recruiter
02:51to take her suitcase
02:53and she didn't know that it had drugs in it.
02:55She still said the same thing now.
02:57I want to prove
03:01that I am free
03:03and that clemency
03:05is not a crime.
03:06Okay, why? Go ahead.
03:08Because I am not guilty.
03:09Popolombo Marcos
03:10is worried that if Mary Jane Velloso
03:12will be given a clemency,
03:14what will be the president's decision?
03:16This is just an announcement
03:17from the Indonesian government.
03:18This is the first news.
03:19Good luck for GMA Integrated News.
