Overseas Filipinos in Canada perform Mary Jane Veloso's Poem

Migrante Canada

April 23, 2025

Mary Jane Veloso will appear at the RTC Court in Nueva Ecija to give her witness testimony against Ma. Cristina Sergio and Julius Lacanilao, the illegal recruiters who face qualified trafficking, illegal recruitment and estafa cases.

She will be with one of her lawyers, Atty. Edre Olalia of the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers.

Migrante Canada continues to follow her case and to support her.

To remind people who have thought that Mary Jane Veloso was flown back to freedom at last! – this is untrue. Mary Jane went from death row in Indonesia to another women’s prison facility in the Philippines….

To reach out to multi-sectors in our community and raise the clamor for Mary Jane’s absolute and unconditional clemency so she can live and love her sons.

Migrante Canada presents the reading of Mary Jane’s poem “Isang Kislap ng Pag-asa” which she wrote inside prison in September 2018, in Bahasa Indonesia.
