Mary Jane Veloso’s pro bono lawyer Edre Olalia questioned the factual basis for the Public Attorney’s Office to represent the arrested recruiters Ma. Kristina Sergio and Julius Lacanilao as they do not appear to be indigents.

Noticeably, the government timeline showed a one-year gap, from April 23, 2012 to April 25, 2013, when government officials had no clear action on Mary Jane’s case.

'Ingrate’ is a politically-charged word that was “historically used by the ruling class, by colonizers, by the frailes, the hacienderos and the landlords in order to insult and demonize the toiling masses, the peasants, for not bowing down to the ruling class elites for giving them scraps to live by.”

“I kept calling out my sister’s name, who I thought was already in heaven.”

“I became resolute because of all of you.”

“As we work for Mary Jane’s freedom, we also continue to hold the Aquino regime accountable for its neglect of OFWs and the continuing economic policies that have made the poor ever vulnerable to human trafficking.”

“The whole Filipino nation and the world now cry tears of joy, but collectively."

“Profoundest apologies for failing Mary Jane, her family and all migrant workers, I could not bring Darren’s mom home alive.”

Migrante International challenged Aquino to recall its diplomats in Jakarta, disapprove or suspend any Indonesian company’s application for investment and to bare the list of all Filipino migrant workers who are either languishing in jail or on death row.
