    Indonesia-Philippines relations

    Since the diplomatic ties officially established in 1949, Indonesia and Philippines
    enjoys cordial bilateral relationship in spirit of kinship - the history between both
    nations has been one of the most important in Southeast Asia. Both countries has
    established embassies in each capitals, Indonesia has their embassy in Manila and
    consulate in Davao City, while Philippines has their embassy in Jakarta and
    consulate in Manado and Surabaya. High rank stately visits have been conducted for
    years.

    Relations between the two nations stretch back millennia. The Srivijaya and
    Majapahit Empires of ancient Indonesia had ruled over territories and vassal
    kingdoms in the southern and central Philippines. Both countries were colonized by
    Spain during the Age of Imperialism (specifically the Moluccas for Indonesia). The
    Maluku Archipelago was governed from the Spanish colonial capital of Manila.
    Relations were officially re-established in 1949, with Sukarno being warmly welcomed
    in the Philippines, and the de facto Republic of Mindanao. The two became military
    allies, with the governments of each nations supporting one another.
    In 1952, the first President of Indonesia - Sukarno called upon the peoples of
    Indonesia and Philippines to rekindle the centuries and millennia-long relations
    between them, before being attacked by by colonial powers after a visit from pan-
    Malayan Filipino nationalist Wenceslao Vinzons. He considered the Philippines
    among his closest allies, and made frequent visits to Manila.

    The Philippines and Indonesia once shared a land border in Borneo as a result of the
    temporary Philippine acquisition of Sabah that lasted until 2015 until it became an
    independent country.

    Both nations consist of people belonging to the Austronesian ethnic group. The Malay
    language, is an official language in both nations, being the national language of
    Indonesia (officially registered as Indonesian, separate from local Malay), and being a
    co-official in the Philippines, alongside Filipino and English. Both nations are the
    founders of ASEAN and the members of non-aligned movement and APEC. Both
    countries are members of the East ASEAN Growth Triangle together with Brunei
    Darussalam and Malaysia in the BIMP-EAGA. Both countries are mainly composed
    of islands.

    WHY WORK IN INDONESIA AS ASST ADMIN TO DAFA?

    Indonesia and the Philippines, both founding members of the Association of


    Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and situated in maritime Southeast Asia, have
    long sought collaboration on common security challenges. That continues to be the
    case today as both countries pay closer attention to rising transnational threats like
    terrorism and seek to increase collaboration in maritime security in areas including
    the Sulu-Sulawesi Seas.

    With respect to countering terrorism and extremism, the two countries and other
    Southeast Asian states have been looking at various bilateral, subregional, regional,
    and extraregional measures that can be taken to tackle the challenge posed by
    individuals and groups. Of particular concern is the Islamic State, whose reach into
    Southeast Asia was most clearly demonstrated in the siege of the southern city of
    Marawi in May last year but has also conducted attacks in other Southeast Asian
    countries including Indonesia.

    As an admin asst to a DAFA, I can help provide information to my country on the


    ongoing counter-insurgency measure of Indonesia. Further research and information
    can help my government especially the military forces to create measures in the
    maritime to combat terrorism and insurgency. This also provides idea to further
    intensify relationship with Indonesia.
