LOOK: President Duterte dons traditional Indonesian batik
"Look at my batik!," he told Philippine media

JAKARTA, Indonesia – After speaking to media in a joint statement with Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo during his working visit here on Friday, September 9, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte said goodbye and walked away, presumably to leave.

But he was back in a few minutes just to show off his new attire: a traditional, Indonesian batik shirt.

“Look at my batik!,” he told Philippine media.

Duterte traded the white polo he was previously wearing for a brown and black batik shirt, still unbuttoned when he faced the media having had just put it on.
