At the Bagong Pilipinas briefing on Wednesday, Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said the DMW would provide any necessary assistance to Veloso and her family. According to Philippines News Agency, Secretary Cacdac expressed anticipation for Veloso's return, highlighting the ongoing support that the government has provided to her family since the time of the late DMW Secretary Toots Ople. He stated, "We look forward to, of course, welcoming Mary Jane back home, of course, in the context of whatever decision or judgment will be made in Indonesia." He also noted that Secretary Ople had previously extended financial assistance to Veloso's mother, Nanay Celia, and the family, emphasizing the continuity of support. The DMW has been actively engaged with Veloso's family even before her anticipated transfer. Sec retary Cacdac assured that the department would maintain close contact with them in the Philippines.
