00:00After not giving up on Mary Jane's sudden return to the country,

00:04the Veloso family continued to pray for her to be released.

00:08One of the ways of executive clemency that the President can give,

00:12but there is no decision yet.

00:14According to the palace, John Consulta was able to do it.

00:22A person deprived of liberty is still considered to be Mary Jane Veloso

00:26even though she has returned to the Philippines.

00:28Even though she is not in jail,

00:30she is under the supervision of the National Bureau of Investigation

00:33and Correctional Institution for Women or C.I.W.

00:36And like a PDL, Mary Jane underwent booking procedures and mag shots.

00:41Earlier, Mary Jane even showed her hands

00:44to show the ink on her fingerprint.

00:47In this room, Mary Jane will stay for 5 days for her quarantine period.

00:52After that, Mary Jane has a 55-day mandatory orientation

00:56so that she can know the regulations inside, her rights, and more.

01:00While waiting for the decision of President Marcos

01:03if he will be able to grant her her wish to be completely free.

01:06It is noted that Mary Jane was sentenced to death in Indonesia in 2010

01:11because of the drug possession of a suitcase that was suddenly given to her by a recruiter.

01:16As of now, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said

01:19that the palace has not yet decided

01:21if Mary Jane will be given executive clemency.

01:24The review is said to be ongoing.

01:26DOJ's Usec Raul Vasquez said

01:28there are two ways for Mary Jane to be completely free from prison.

01:33This is the method of parole and executive clemency.

01:36Parole is a conditional release that is given

01:39if a PDL deserves the minimum period of prison sentence.

01:43It is given to a good record while in prison

01:47and in the account of Good Conduct Time Allowance or GCTA.

01:50A technical working group is established by the Bucor to study this

01:54and to find out if Mary Jane's 14 years in prison in Indonesia is included in the GCTA account.

02:01That is the beauty of the GCTA.

02:03It will not go through the Executive Department.

02:06Yes.

02:07Because when it is computed, it is only internal.

02:10We will also look at what is the system there, first and second.

02:17What was her conduct there?

02:19Third, what can be seen as favorable?

02:24Because the principle of our law is

02:28all procedural rules favorable to the accused are to be granted them.

02:35Because our primary concept is always towards human rights and the right to liberty.

02:43In due time, we will be able to know if Mary Jane is qualified for GCTA

02:53and then if there is a GCTA, has she served the minimum?

03:01So that will entitle her for parole.

03:04At our level, we can recommend that.

03:07The quickest way is the Executive Clemency that can be given by the President.

03:12In the opinion of our President,

03:15Executive Clemency can be done in the exercise of his ultimate and absolute authority

03:23along with other equally entitled PDLs.

03:27Why not?

03:28If our President will give Executive Clemency,

03:32definitely, he will also look at others.

03:35He cannot be singled out.

03:37For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta.

03:41Stay tuned for 24 hours.
