he Philippines Foreign Minister Albert del Rosario visited death-row convict Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso at the Wirogunan Penitentiary in Yogyakarta on Tuesday.
Veloso is currently awaiting a Supreme Court decision on a case review.
"The foreign minister came at about 1 p.m. He came with his entourage and visited her until 2 p.m.," Wirogunan Penitentiary warden Zaenal Arifin said as quoted by kompas.com
Zaenal said the entourage wanted to know Mary Jane's latest situation.
"The foreign minister expressed his gratitude for being allowed to visit MJ," he said.
He said he did not know what was discussed due to language differences.
