Mary Jane Veloso on Wednesday morning finally reunited with her family in Manila 15 years after being separated from them.
Veloso, who has been transferred to the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) in Mandaluyong City upon arriving in the Philippines, was first approached by her two sons who brought her flowers.
She later on met with the rest of her family, including her parents, Cesar and Celia.
Veloso arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport via a Cebu Pacific commercial flight early Wednesday morning after more than a decade of detention in Indonesia for drug trafficking.
At the CIW, she is expected to be in quarantine in the first five days and undergo orientation and security evaluation for the next 55 days before being detained in a regular cell.
Veloso’s camp has appealed to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos to grant her clemency following an agreement that would allow her to return to the Philippines.—Giselle Ombay/AOL, GMA Integrated News
