Veloso was caught at Yogyakarta airport in 2009 with 2.6 kilogrammes (5.73 pounds) of heroin sewn into the lining of her suitcase.
Veloso claims a family friend, working with an international crime gang, had secretly placed it in the suitcase.
Veloso said she had flown to Indonesia because the friend had promised her a job as a maid.

More than 800 Filipinos are in jails overseas, with 41 on death row, foreign ministry spokesman Jose said. Most of those facing execution are in China and Malaysia.
