SC asked to order Veloso release
The Philippine Star
|November 16, 2025
The parents of detained former overseas Filipino worker Mary Jane Veloso have asked the Supreme Court (SC) to order their daughter's immediate release, saying that her continued detention without any arrest warrant or confinement order from a court is illegal.
In a 19-page petition filed yesterday, Veloso’s parents Celia and Cesar prayed to the SC to issue a writ of habeas corpus that would compel the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) to immediately present Veloso before the high tribunal and explain the legality of her detention.
Veloso’s parents further prayed to the court to “order her immediate release from custody under the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that her continued restraint is unlawful and without legal basis.”
