Presidential sister and TV host Kris Aquino posted on her Instagram account on the subject of the case of Mary Jane Veloso, which her brother, President Aquino has been working on to get Veloso a reprieve or to delay the punishment from the Indonesian Government.
“I kept quiet & just prayed. Left & right paulit ulit na walang ginawa, walang effort, walang malasakit, patalsikin, walang nagawa si Noynoy. (Thank You Manila Bulletin for the accurate front page.) Our whole family prayed, of course for Mary Jane and her family, but I prayed deeply for the Holy Spirit to guide my brother & his government to find a way to spare the life of a fellow Filipino. To find a reason compelling enough for the Indonesian govt to give Mary Jane Veloso a reprieve, and it came because of testimony regarding the greater problem of HUMAN TRAFFICKING. I prayed for God to bless our relations w/ Indonesia… Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, and even an Indonesian died by firing squad. From the New York Times I quote: “Saying Indonesia had a right to exercise its drug laws, Mr Joko’s govt. rejected international pleas to cancel the executions, including from Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the United Nation.” I firmly believe that we must respect the laws of each country, and as Filipinos we will take offense when other countries will dictate upon us… But we are a God fearing, faithful nation. And He heard our collective prayer,” TV host Kris Aquino said.
“And I kept quiet w/ the endless attacks against PNoy because that was his reminder to me, but today it is my right & my privilege to say, I AM PROUD of my brother. I AM PROUD OF MY PRESIDENT.” She ended.
