00:00Today, the Veloso family will visit the Correctional Institution for Women to celebrate Christmas with Mary Jane.
00:06After more than a decade, Mary Jane Veloso will celebrate Christmas again in the Philippines with her family.
00:12This is the first news of Joseph Moro.
00:18Christmas is for the family, he said.
00:20And the Veloso family felt it this month when the Bureau of Corrections in Bucor allowed them to visit Mary Jane Veloso.
00:28That's why her parents are excited.
00:30The T-shirts and other things that Mary Jane asked for are already prepared.
00:34Even for Ms. Celia, she is preparing something to wear.
00:38It's the 14th Christmas that Mary Jane is not with her family since she was imprisoned in Indonesia in 2010.
00:44We thought that we were going to die as husband and wife.
00:47That we will not be able to see Mary Jane.
00:49That we will not be able to be with her.
00:51But God gave us a gift.
00:55We will really go home in the afternoon.
00:57I think I will not be able to take care of my daughter, especially when our home is near.
01:08They will also prepare some of the foods that Mary Jane requested.
01:12Tinomis, Sinigang na Baboy, Spaghetti, and Salad.
01:20Puto.
01:22More than 20 siblings and other relatives will visit Mary Jane,
01:26including her two children who will be evacuated from Nueva Ecija.
01:30But Bucor's regulations on the visit of the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong
01:37prohibit video or photo.
01:38They were allowed to bring gifts, but not gifts.
01:42The state still reminds Mary Jane as a person deprived of liberty.
01:46But before the celebration, the Veloso family has a Christmas wish for the President.
01:51I feel sorry for my daughter.
01:53She has suffered for a long time.
01:57Please give her to us so that we can be with her.
02:02According to Mary Jane's lawyers, there is no legal obstacle for Mary Jane to receive an executive clemency
02:09after the Philippines and Indonesia signed a transfer agreement
02:13wherein after the sentence of life imprisonment is lowered,
02:18the Philippines will be the one to impose the punishment.
02:21I read very carefully the statement of the Coordinating Ministry.
02:26It says that the responsibility for the rehabilitation, remission, or clemency is now passed on to the Philippine government
02:39and they will respect that.
02:41On the part of the BBM, it can demonstrate decisiveness.
02:48It can also demonstrate a head of one's country's empathy, mercy, and sense of justice.
02:58Malacanang has not yet announced if Mary Jane will receive a clemency.
03:03According to the Bureau of Corrections,
03:06deprived of liberty during Christmas,
03:08such as short sentences,
03:10does a good conduct time allowance.
03:12This is the first news, Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.
