Two alleged recruiters of 30-year-old Mary Jane Veloso,
who is set to be executed in Indonesia on Tuesday, have
surrendered to authorities.

Maria Kristina Sergio, also known as Mary Christine Gulles
Pasadilla, has turned herself in to the Nueva Ecija Provincial Police Office in Cabanatuan City at about 10 a.m, radio dzMM reported.

Sergio said she gave up to the police because she was
fearing for her life after she was tagged as the recruiter who facilitated Veloso’s entry into Indonesia.
She said Veloso’s relatives and supporters could harm her
if the domestic helper’s execution pushes through.

The suspect was with her live-in partner Julius Lacanilao
when she went to the police.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed before the
Department of Justice on Monday a complaint for illegal
recruitment, human trafficking and estafa against Sergio,
Lacanilao, and an African national known only as Ike.

In a recent television interview, Sergio denied all allegations hurled against her, saying that she was not part of a drug syndicate. She also pleaded with the public to spare her from judgment.
The Department of Justice has set the preliminary investigation on Sergio and Lacanilao on May 8 and 14.

Veloso is set to be executed through firing squad after the
Sleman District Court in Indonesia junked the second appeal for her case on Monday.

The mother of two was charged with drug trafficking after
she was caught with 2.6 kilograms of heroin while trying to
enter Indonesia in 2010. AJH
