DMW visits Mary Jane Veloso's family, provides assistance
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) visited Mary Jane Veloso's family in Nueva Ecija to provide assistance ahead of her return to the Philippines from Indonesia.
The DMW, led by Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac, provided financial aid, food, and scholarships to Veloso's family.
Secretary Cacdac assured the family of continuous compensation, as directed by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
Veloso, who was arrested in Indonesia in 2010 for drug trafficking, is set to be transferred back to the Philippines.
Her execution was postponed in 2015, and her return to the Philippines means her sentence will effectively become life imprisonment, as the Philippines does not have the death penalty.
Veloso's parents have requested that she be transferred to a safe local facility due to concerns about threats from international drug syndicates.
