MINISTER COUNSELLOR, KBRI MANILA

TRANSLATED/CORRECTED ENGISH: It’s a major issue for both our countries because you see we are both very vulnerable to natural disasters. Philippines and Indonesia both have difficulty handling rise in sea level, then also flooding and droughts. The Philippines is also frequently devastated by typhoons. It is challenging for both of us.
