By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte expressed condolences to the family of Indonesian Ambassador to the Philippines Sinyo Harry Sarundajang, who passed away Saturday.

In a statement released by Malacañang Thursday, Duterte described Sinyo, a former governor of North Sulawesi province for two terms, as a “true friend” and “champion of Philippines-Indonesia bilateral relations.

“The President conveys deepest sympathies to Ibu Deetje Adeline Laoh Tambuwun, the entire family and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia in this time of great sadness and grief,” it said.

The late ambassador’s tenure further strengthened the country’s diplomatic ties with Indonesia through improved connectivity, sustained people-to-people exchanges as well as greater cooperation for peace, security and stability and prosperity in the BIMP-EAGA and the larger region, according to the statement.

“He will be remembered and rightly honored for his deep commitment and dedication to further deepen and broaden the special ties between the Philippines and Indonesia,” said the Palace.

Sinyo has been serving as the Indonesian envoy to the Philippines since 2018.
