Christmas reunion seen for Mary Jane, family
The Philippine Star
|November 28, 2024
Mary Jane Veloso, the overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who was convicted and imprisoned in 2010 in Indonesia for drug trafficking, is expected to be reunited with her family in December.
OFW party-list Rep. Marissa Magsino visited Veloso's mother, Celia, to relay the good news.
"The thought of having her home fills me with hope," Celia said during their meeting, noting that her daughter remained in good spirit despite her ordeal.
Celia also expressed gratitude for Indonesia's humane treatment of her daughter over the years.
"Mary Jane calls us every month to share updates, though we cannot call her. She is the youngest of my five children and has two kids of her own, aged 22 and 16, who live with me. While I had accepted the possibility of her staying in Indonesia, this news brings renewed hope," she said.
