15 Years Of Sentence, Mary Jane Is Smart In Indonesian And Javanese

TANGERANG - A Filipino citizen who was sentenced to death in the narcotics case Mary Jane Veloso before carrying out the handover process for the transfer of prisoners, he shared his experience while serving his sentence in Pondok Bambu, East Jakarta.

Mary Jane admitted that during her 15-year sentence, she learned many things, one of which was fluent in Indonesian.

"I've been in Indonesia for almost 15 years, from not being able to speak the language (Indonesia)," said Mary Jane at Terminal 2F of Soekarno Hatta Airport, Tangerang City, Tuesday, December 17.

Not only that, he can also speak Javanese. Even occasionally media crews interact with Mary Jane.

"Nggeh. Matur suwun," he said.

"Sami-sami," replied Mary Jane.

Before returning to Manila, Mary Jane expressed her gratitude to Indonesian citizens, especially Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. While screaming, Mary Jane expressed her love for Indonesia.

"I beg for all, pray for Mary so that Mary gets the best," he said.

"Thank you Indonesia. I love Indonesia," shouted Mery.

The Mary Jane Veloso case has become an international spotlight because it involves human trafficking issues and cross-border drug trafficking.

The Philippine government has asked Mary Jane's repatriation to ensure her testimony can strengthen the legal process against human trafficking networks.
