Mary Jane Veloso, the Filipina who was in prison in Indonesia for 14 years, returns home to the Philippines.
BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. has announced earlier in the day that Veloso's plane has landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Wednesday morning.
Catapang also noted that Veloso was not handcuffed during the flight.
The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief also assured Veloso's family that they will be able to visit her after the standard five-day quarantine period she would have to complete.
Mary Jane Veloso was arrested in Indonesia after it was found out that her luggage had illegal drugs in them. However, Veloso has maintained that she was not aware of the fact as her luggage was handed to her by her recruiters, Julius Lacanilao and Maria Cristina Sergio.
