MANILA - British Ambassador to the Philippines Asif Ahmad took to social media to remind Filipinos of the help the country received from foreign donors after the onslaught of Typhoon Yolanda in 2013.

In a post on his personal Twitter account, Ahmad posted a list of donors and the amount they have donated to the Philippines.

United Kingdom tops the list of donors with $122.7 million, equivalent to 14.2 percent of total donations.

Ahmad also explained that what he posted was simply information, "a window to the world."

"People with issues need a mirror. UK aid was delivered directly to Filipinos in need," he said in response to a Twitter user who questioned where the aid went.

Ahmad's post comes in the wake of President Rodrigo Duterte's tirades against the United States and the European Union (EU).

On Thursday, Duterte dared the U.S. and the EU to withdraw their assistance if they wish.

"If you think it is high time for you guys to withdraw your assistance, go ahead. We will not beg for it," an unwavering Duterte said as he emphasized how the drug menace continue to destroy the country.

He added that the country "will survive" even without aid from allies.
