MANILA, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Philippines has donated 16 million pesos (roughly 300,000 U.S. dollars) worth of assistance to Indonesia ahead of its President Rodrigo Duterte's visit to the country.
Duterte is scheduled to attend the leaders' gathering of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Indonesia before attending the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group Annual Meeting in Bali.
At a press briefing on Wednesday, Philippine Ambassador to Indonesia Leehiong Wee said that the Philippine government's donation would be mainly made up of generator sets as well as water and medical supplies.
"What happened in Palu was a very big disaster (for Indonesia)," Wee said.
Wee was referring to September's earthquakes and tsunami that hit Palu, a city in the province of Central Sulawesi.
