Mary Jane Veloso’s alleged recruiter to be brought to Camp Crame

The recruiter who allegedly tricked Mary Jane Veloso into bringing 2.6 kilos of heroin in Indonesia will be brought to Camp Crame in Quezon City, after she turned herself in to authorities in Nueva Ecija.

A tweet by radio dzBB on Wednesday afternoon said Christine Pasadilla, who also uses the name Kristina Sergio, will be brought to Camp Olivas in Pampanga province first and later to Camp Crame.


Reached by GMA News Online by phone, Police Supt. Ronald Joseph Ocaya, officer-in-charge of the Nueva Ecija Provincial Police Office, said Pasadilla was already en route to Pampanga but refused to confirm that she will be brought to Camp Crame, citing security reasons.

Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) chief Director Benjamin Magalong said he has no information on the transfer.

"We are not involved," he said.

Pasadilla presented herself to authorities Tuesday together with her live-in partner and fellow suspect Julius Lacanilao due to supposed threats to their lives.

Pasadilla said their neighbors in Talavera, Nueva Ecija, had told them that Veloso's family will take revenge on them if Mary Jane's execution pushes through.

Mary Jane, arrested in an Indonesian airport in 2010 for drug smuggling, was supposed to be executed in early morning Wednesday, but it was postponed following Sergio's appearance.

Mary Jane's lawyer Edre Olalia said the execution was suspended because a complaint has been filed in the Philippines against those responsible for her plight. —Amanda Fernandez/KBK, GMA News
