The Department of Foreign Affairs is hopeful that Mary Jane Veloso could return to the Philippines as early as December.
However, the DFA clarified that discussions with Indonesia regarding Veloso’s transfer remain ongoing, with no written agreement yet regarding her repatriation. According to De Vega, the transfer hinges on ironing out specific details between the two governments. While Veloso would remain in detention upon her return, the ultimate goal is clemency from Marcos.
The DFA official noted that negotiations could allow Veloso to return home immediately, though no timeline or conditions have been confirmed.
