Mary Jane Veloso's case: truly a miracle?


Filipinos across the globe are rejoicing for letting Mary Jane Veloso live for her death penalty case was reprieved. 

Mary Jane Veloso, a 30 year old single mother was arrested and sentenced to death for smuggling heroin into Indonesia in 2010. Her case sparked international commotion because she was spared from the nearly death penalty in the last minute.

She was reprieved because the alleged human trafficker, Maria Kristina Sergio surrendered to the police and Veloso will be the witness in court to prove her innocence on the said case.(Philippine Daily Inquirer)

Her mother couldn't believe that her daughter was still alive and she said that it was indeed a miracle.

What would you feel if you were in the shoe of Veloso, sitting in the room  and waiting that you're going to be executed through a firing squad. Then, all of a sudden a phone call from your country comes informing you that the human trafficker surrendered to the police authority admitting the crime which he kept for five years and you were suddenly pulled out from the place where you must be executed.

This is truly a
MIRACLE!

I was left stunned and  speechless when I read the news that my fellow OFW was spared as I thought that she was going to be executed because Jokowi rejected her clemency.

This is another testimony that prayers are so powerful and can truly work miracles. Filipinos all over the world showed their public support through mass prayers. The government exhausted their effort in order to save her. As a result, Mary  Jane is still alive trying to prove her innocence.

I declare my firm support on her innocence not only by the fact that she is my fellow citizen but I also believe that justice must prevail and truth will set her free.

 I pray that she will be given a fair trial and let the world know about her story and her struggles. I also pray that she will never break and believe that for as long as there's a gleam of hope, she must never fail to hold on to God's promises.

AMEN.

  1. Yeah it does a miracle! If it's not by God's hand, maybe the human trafficker wouldn't admit her crime ya.

    Glad and relieved the death row reprieved. Hope God's truth will shine like the dawn. And the justice prevail. I hope she wouldn't have to be punished if she is innocent.

    Pray for her and all the people who are struggling to find justice as well.
