Excerpt
The remarks of American businessman Donald Trump Jr. criticizing a US Navy plan to dismantle its minesweeper that is stuck at the Tubbataha Reefs in the Sulu Sea has sparked outrage among netizens and prompted a militant group to ask President Aquino to declare him persona non grata in the Philippines. The militant group Anakbayan on Thursday said that Trump’s tweets, which indicated that he thought the USS Guardian was more important than the reef, were offensive and displayed a lack of regard for Philippine heritage. Trump is the son of American real estate mogul Donald Trump, who is investing in a real estate project in Makati City.
