TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemlu) confirmed that no Indonesian citizens were reported as victims of the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Mindanao, southern Philippines, on Monday morning local time.
Heri Hamdi, Director of Indonesian Citizen Protection at the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that his office, along with the Indonesian Consulate General in Davao, Philippines, continues to monitor the developments surrounding the earthquake and the condition of Indonesian citizens in the affected areas.
"So far, there has been no information on any Indonesian citizens or migrant workers affected by the earthquake," Heri said in response to ANTARA's written inquiry in Jakarta.
Given that the earthquake was also felt in East Malaysia, the Director of Indonesian Citizen Protection at the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Indonesian representative in Sabah is also monitoring the developments and its impact.

"All Indonesian citizens and migrant workers are urged to continue monitoring further developments in the situation," Heri said.
The Indonesian representatives who can be contacted if needed are the Indonesian Consulate General in Davao (+63-946-2455-402) for Indonesian citizens in the Philippines, the Indonesian Consulate General in Kota Kinabalu (+60-16-060-067), and the Indonesian Consulate in Tawau (+60-19-928-8000) for Indonesian citizens in Malaysia.
