President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. Is considering granting an absolute pardon to detained former overseas Filipino worker (OFW) Mary Jane Veloso. The decision comes amid ongoing legal proceedings against Veloso, who was arrested in 2023 on charges of drug possession. Veloso, a former nurse, was working in the Philippines when she was detained by authorities. Her case has drawn public attention due to her background as an OFW, a common term for Filipinos working abroad. Legal experts note that a presidential pardon would require approval from the Office of the President and could influence future cases involving OFWs. The government has not yet confirmed the move, but sources indicate it is under active consideration.
