This year, on July 27, the Indonesian Embassy in Manila kicked off the 79th year anniversary of its Independence Day with a fun walk at Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City. Over 200 participants, including embassy officials, citizens residing in the Philippines, and Filipino and foreign friends of Indonesia, joined the event—all wearing red and white sportswear as an homage to the Indonesian flag.
Widjojo emphasized that Indonesians abroad act as ambassadors of the nation, bearing the responsibility to promote Indonesia’s positive image internationally and contribute to its progress across various fields. Meanwhile, a diplomatic reception, set for September 5 at the Dusit Thani in Makati City, will serve as the culmination of the commemorative activities. It will bring together local government officials, members of the diplomatic community, business leaders, and partners of the Indonesian Embassy in Manila.
In the same year, the Philippines exported $1.36 billion worth of goods to Indonesia. The primary exports were Semiconductor Devices , Refined Copper , and Integrated Circuits . Philippine exports to Indonesia have seen an average annual growth rate of 7.32 percent over the past five years, rising from $955 million in 2017 to $1.36 billion in 2022.
