Rappler Talk: Mary Jane Veloso, a free woman

EXCLUSIVE: Rappler speaks to former overseas Filipino worker Mary Jane Veloso as she is finally granted freedom after 16 years

MANILA, Philippines – In her first one-on-one interview since receiving an absolute pardon, former overseas Filipino worker Mary Jane Veloso sits down with Rappler’s Jairo Bolledo on Friday, September 25, to discuss her newly attained freedom.

Veloso was granted an absolute pardon by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday, September 24, paving the way for her freedom after 16 years of detention. Fourteen of those years were spent in an Indonesian prison, and nearly two at the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) in Mandaluyong City.

Veloso was issued a discharge certificate from the CIW on Friday, the same day the pardon was made public.
