Ing-Wen has not yet specified what kind of aid he would give the Philippines.
Ulysses, the 21st cyclonic storm to hit the country this year, caused massive flooding in Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon on Thursday.
So far, it has killed 14 people, according to the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
The typhoon struck areas in Luzon that had barely recovered from the attack of Super Typhoon Rolly (Goni), which killed at least 25 people and destroyed thousands of residences.
