Govt reviews jailed OFW's case after request for clemency

MANILA, Philippines — The Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) is reviewing the legalities surrounding the case of a detained Filipino worker on her appeal for clemency. This after Mary Jane Veloso, who was convicted and sentenced to death in Indonesia on drug charges before being repatriated to the Philippines, and local officials met with their Indonesian counterparts to discuss her request to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to be freed so that she could be reunited with her family, said Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro. “We've spoken with the OES and they said they will study the provisions and the minutes of the meeting with Indonesia. The prerogative of the President will be followed,” Castro said in Filipino in a Palace briefing on Tuesday. “They will check if any law would be broken and, again, it is the president's prerogative whatever action would be taken moving forward,” she added. The Indonesian government agreed to repatriate Veloso, after she was meted the death sentence in October 2010, to serve out the rest of her sentence in the Philippines. She was granted a reprieve amid a string of appeals from the Philippine government during the term of former president Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III. Veloso was repatriated in December 2024 and has since been detained at the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City.
