Her one chance now to leave the death row rests on successfully prosecuting her recruiters in the Philippines.
“We ask the Duterte administration to do everything to win the domestic case against Mary Jane’s traffickers.”
“My family maybe poor, but I would never be involved in illegal drugs…I am innocent.”
“The situation at hand presents a distinct factual milieu. The private complainant Mary Jane Veloso is not sick or infirm.”
“We know his strong sentiments against drugs. We also know that he is fully informed of Mary Jane’s innocence. I know he will help her.”
“Even if the new administration will not pay attention to Mary Jane, we are no longer the old Veloso family who stayed mum on her issue. We have Migrante and Colmenares now.”
“Walang katumbas, walang katumbas na salapi. Sinira niya ang buhay namin.” (Money could not repay the suffering this has caused our lives.)
“They brought her to a situation in which she almost died.”
The trial proper finally begins on March 29 against Mary Jane Veloso’s recruiters.
“Kaso hindi kuko (Focus on the case, not the nails),” Garry Martinez quipped
“It was just like before, when we were brought there for her execution…We were in tears.”
Mary Jane Veloso spent time with her family who visited her in jail abroad.
“Our only wish is for the case against her recruiters in Baloc trial court to proceed faster, and for her to go home this 2016.”
“Migrante continues to call for vigilance and sustained support for Mary Jane, in light of the slow course of justice.”
While there are many reasons to celebrate the temporary stay of Mary Jane Veloso’s execution, there are still many reasons to seethe with rage.
Whatever you call it -- moratorium, postponement, suspension or not a priority -- the net effect is that there will be no execution until further notice.”
“Mary Jane keeps on asking why it is taking so long. She asked why government lawyers representing Tintin (Maria Cristina Sergio)’have so many excuses, which has led to the delay of the case proceedings.”
“We will fight for this, because we do not want others to be victimized.”
