'We understand that the law in Indonesia is that way. But nonetheless, baka makahanap tayo ng paraan. Iuwi na lang namin ‘yan,' says President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ASEAN2023
We understand that she is convicted. We understand that the law in Indonesia is that way. But nonetheless,anyway to ask for clemencyMary Jane Veloso’s mother appeals to Indonesian gov’t anew to act on case
Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo in September 2022 asked Indonesia to grant Veloso executive clemency when he met Indonesia’s foreign minister Retno Marsudi on the sidelines of Marcos’ state visit to Indonesia. In 2010, Veloso was arrested in Yogyakarta after unwittingly bringing with her a suitcase packed with over 2.6 kilograms of heroin. She has requested for clemency before but was rejected in 2015. It was that rejection – and the threat of execution – that first turned Mary Jane Veloso into a household name in the Philippines.
The Philippine government, then led by the late Benigno Aquino III, held last-minute talks – with the late president even – to stop Veloso’s slated execution by firing squad. Aquino himself spoke to Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi in a bid to save Veloso’s life. . The two were reported to have links to drug trafficking, illegal recruitment, and fraud.
