Duterte to discuss Veloso Mayor Sara condemns case with Widodo – Palace NPA attacks in Davao

The case of Mary Jane Veloso was one of the issues at the discussion table when President Rodrigo Duterte hosts his Indonesian counterpart President Joko Widodo during a bilateral meeting in Malacañang last Friday. This was disclosed by Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella in a statement sent to reporters. Widodo arrived for a state visit last April 28 following a state visit by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei on April 27. Abella said that the state visits of the two leaders were excellent opportunities for the Philippines to further strengthen bilateral

relations with its ASEAN neighbors. Besides issues of common concern, the Palace official said the condition of Filipino workers were also discussed. “President Duterte separately discussed with Sultan Bolkiah and President Widodo issues of common concern, such as security of our sea lanes, crossborder traffic and patrol, and economic cooperation,” he said. “ The President also discussed the situation of Filipino workers in these countries, including the case of Mary Jane Veloso,” Abella said. Veloso was arrested in

April 2010 at Yogyakarta airport in Indonesia after 2.6 kilograms of heroin was discovered in her luggage and was sentenced to die on October of the same year. She was granted a last-minute reprieve from execution in April last year after the surrender of her recruiters in the Philippines. On Wednesday last week, Veloso’s mother, Celia, went to Malacañang to request President Duterte to ask for clemency for her daughter. She was accompanied by relatives of other Filipinos facing execution abroad to air similar appeal for their loved ones. (PNA)
