Mary Jane Veloso described her return home as a miracle after spending almost 15 years on death row in Indonesia for drug trafficking, maintaining her innocence all along.
Veloso expressed deep longing, saying, 'For almost 15 years I was separated from my children and parents... I wish to be given an opportunity to take care of my children and to be close to my parents.'
Many people in the Philippines and Indonesia identified with Veloso's plight, highlighting the vulnerabilities faced by migrant workers who seek better opportunities abroad.
Edre Olalia, Veloso's lawyer, emphasized the family's joy upon her return, noting the uncertainty surrounding Veloso's case once she arrives back in the Philippines.
