00:00The Bureau of Corrections is now looking at Mary Jane Veloso's record in Indonesia
00:05to find out if she is qualified for the Good Conduct Time Allowance.
00:09Veloso also hopes that she will be given the Executive Clemency of President Bobon Marcos.
00:14Witness, Joseph Moro.
00:19After more than a decade of imprisonment in Indonesia,
00:22Mary Jane Veloso's family does not have a sweet moment
00:27before she entered the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong.
00:31Even though their reunion was cut off, Mary Jane is still happy that she has a wish to celebrate Christmas.
00:43Mary Jane will be quarantined for five days at the Correctional Reception and Diagnostics Center
00:48before being transferred to a regular cell.
00:50However, they were allowed to celebrate Christmas here together.
00:54If our whole family is allowed to visit, we will exchange gifts.
01:03I am happier now than when my mom visited.
01:07Because now she is closer to us even though we visit her every day.
01:13At the airport, Mary Jane's family will greet her.
01:17Mary Jane!
01:21But when the plane took off on the morning of the 6th,
01:25she suddenly got in the SUV and was not allowed by her parents.
01:29I am very, very sad.
01:31They made my daughter a criminal.
01:34It's not her fault.
01:36Why didn't they show it to us?
01:38We want to hug her.
01:41Me!
01:44Me!
01:46Their family knows through the lawyers that she should not go to the airport
01:54because of security issues and health issues.
01:57That's why the parents and sister of Mary Jane are so close to meet at the Correctional Reception.
02:04After two months, Mary Jane was transferred to Maximum Compound.
02:08For that, she was sentenced to life imprisonment in Indonesia
02:12for carrying heroin that was smuggled by her refuter in 2010.
02:17According to the Department of Justice, aside from the executive clemency,
02:21Mary Jane Veloso can also receive parole.
02:23A technical working group was established by the VIEWCORP to study this
02:27and to find out if Mary Jane spent more than 14 years in jail in Indonesia
02:32with the help of the GCTA.
02:34That's the beauty of the GCTA.
02:36It doesn't go through the executive department.
02:39Because if it's computed, it's only internal.
02:43In due time, we will be able to know if Mary Jane is qualified for GCTA
02:53and then if there's a GCTA, has she served the minimum.
03:02So that will entitle her for parole.
03:05At our level, we can recommend that.
03:07It's in the hands of the President if he will give her an executive clemency
03:11and release her without condition.
03:13If the President will give an executive clemency,
03:17he will definitely look at the others.
03:19He won't single her out.
03:22It's not like she's in the limelight
03:26and she's the issue in the middle that we're talking about.
03:30For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong.
03:33Good luck!
