The parents of an Overseas Filipino Worker who is on death row in Indonesia begged the country's president Joko Widodo to free her daughter on Wednesday. The plea came a day after the Philippines made a fresh appeal for clemency for Mary Jane Veloso, who was arrested in Indonesia in 2010 carrying a suitcase lined with 2.6 kilograms (5.7 pounds) of heroin and later sentenced to death.

Family and supporters of Veloso held a small protest near the presidential palace in Manila as President Marcos met with his Indonesian counterpart Joko Widodo. A letter written by Veloso's mother, Celia, and addressed to Widodo was hand-delivered to the palace by a lawyer representing the family. (Video Courtesy of AFPTV)
