Senators on Wednesday lauded the return of Mary Jane Veloso, an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Indonesian death row for drug trafficking, while President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s diplomatic tack was also cited.

After 14 years on death row, Mary Jane Veloso is finally returning home to the Philippines, as Indonesia signals a more humane approach to foreign prisoners under President Prabowo Subianto. It remains uncertain, however, whether the 39-year-old Filipino will be transferred to a Philippine prison or released upon her return.

The government has announced that after 14 years of detention in Indonesia, Mary Jane Veloso will return to the Philippines — but does this mean she is free?
