President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced on Thursday that the Philippine government is considering clemency for Mary Jane Veloso, the Filipina convicted
of drug trafficking in Indonesia.
Mr. Marcos credited the strong diplomatic ties with Indonesia and efforts spanning multiple Philippine administrations for Veloso’s eventual return. “Our relations with Indonesia and its leaders made this possible,” he said. “They had no interest in executing or detaining Mary Jane, so they found a way to help us,” he added.
