"This outcome is a reflection of the depth of our nation's partnership with Indonesia, united in a shared commitment to justice and compassion," said Marcos on the recent deal.
"Mary Jane's story resonates with many: a mother trapped by the grip of poverty, who made one desperate choice that altered the course of her life," emphasized Marcos, underscoring Veloso's plight.
"While she was held accountable under Indonesian law, she remains a victim of her circumstances," Marcos noted, indicating the exploitation behind Veloso's drug trafficking charge.
"It was not immediately clear when Veloso would return to the Philippines, but Marcos said he looked forward to welcoming her home," reflecting eagerness for her return.
