00:00The Department of Foreign Affairs, or DFA, clarified that the Indonesian government is not asking for a replacement

00:06in sending Merigin Veloso back to the Philippines,

00:09according to DFA Undersecretary Eduardo Jose de Vega.

00:13Although there is no final written arrangement,

00:16there is an informal negotiation in sending Veloso back to the Philippines

00:20so that the sentence will continue here in the country,

00:23according to de Vega.

00:24In the government's negotiation with the Indonesian government,

00:28the Philippines is still obliged to imprison Veloso,

00:31but not in the prison where the other criminals were imprisoned.

00:35That is what is important now.

00:37Aside from Veloso being saved from the death penalty,

00:40he will also be visited by his relatives.

00:43Meanwhile, the DFA's target is to send Veloso back to the country before Christmas.

00:50The Indonesian government is not requesting a replacement.

00:55They are not requesting a replacement.

00:57Many are asking.

00:59However, we know our culture in Asia.

01:02We have a big debt to Indonesia if this happens.

01:06Maybe in the future, if they have an Indonesian citizen that we want to send back,

01:13I'm sure we will listen to them because they did this for us.

01:20As a result of the non-stop negotiation between the Philippine government and Indonesia,

01:27Mary Jane Veloso's return to the country is near, according to the DFA.

01:32Zef Bosonga of Radyo Pilipinas with the national news.

01:38The Philippine government did not stop the negotiation in Indonesia

01:43regarding the case of Mary Jane Veloso.

01:45The Department of Foreign Affairs or DFA under Secretary Eduardo Divega said

01:51that while Veloso is alive,

01:54the government did not lose hope in negotiating with the Indonesian government.

01:59A few weeks ago, Indonesia talked to us through our ambassador there.

02:04They are willing to transfer Mary Jane Veloso to the Philippines.

02:09We just need a formal request from our Justice Department.

02:15Divega said that the Indonesian government has high respect for the President of the Philippines.

02:21This is one of the reasons why they agreed to the negotiation.

02:25According to Divega,

02:27Indonesia did not ask for a change in their consideration of Veloso's case.

02:33We are thankful to the President of Indonesia

02:36because it seems that the new President of Indonesia wants us to have a good relationship.

02:44An expert stated that the Indonesian government's

02:47complete withdrawal of Mary Jane Veloso from the Philippines

02:51is a major development.

02:53Foreign Policy and Security Analyst Professor Lucio Pitlo III

03:00stated that this shows a good relationship between the Philippines and Indonesia.

03:05It is important that this development can be seen as an art

03:11and a part of a good relationship between the two countries.

03:15The Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma

03:20approved the transfer of Mary Jane Veloso.

03:23Laguesma said that the Filipinos abroad

03:28want to have a better job in order to meet the needs of their families.

03:34I hope that local employment can be found.

03:38Even if the benefits and salaries are not the same for those who work abroad,

03:47I hope that they can meet their basic needs.
