Netizens have blasted the son of American billionaire Donald Trump for posting on his Twitter account that the US Navy minesweeper is more important than the damaged portion of Tubbataha Reef.
@donaldjtrumpjr thinks that Tubbataha, a UNESCO world heritage site is worth less than an arrogant US navy ship. Shame.

@adamq112 - @DonaldJTrumpJr A boat is more important than a coral reef?
@DonaldJTrumpJr - @adamq112 not the whole reef but yes a 277mil boat is more important than a 200x50 section of reef that has already been run over.
@SK1MPY - @DonaldJTrumpJr we only have one nature you destructive f***.
@DonaldJTrumpJr - @SK1MPY yes because very the small section of reef that has Already been run over is is worth 1/4bil Obamanomics much?
@polablangkita - Good morning from the Philippines Mr.@DonaldJTrumpJr! The REEF is not just a part of our country..it is a NATIONAL TREASURE.
@DonaldJTrumpJr - @polablangkita perhaps but the whole reef was not destroyed just a chunk the size of a boat. That is not worth 277 million by any standard
@KrizetteWasHere: @DonaldJTrumpJr And for your information, the TUBBATAHA is home to HALF OF THE WORLD's marine species. Is it still expensive?
@DonaldJTrumpJr: @KrizetteWasHere u r right it the whole reef were gone but that's not the case & the damage is done weeks of disassembly will make it worse
@MateoImmanuel: @DonaldJTrumpJr I beg to disagree. The economic value of coral reefs in Southeast Asia alone is $2 billion annualy.
@DonaldJTrumpJr: @MateoImmanuel ok, so how many sq km of reef are there is SE Asia and how many sq meter were damaged by a small ship. Ratio??? I don't like that it happened but if you took 2bil in rev and take the ratio from earlier its rather minimal
@DonaldJTrumpJr: @MateoImmanuel but that damage is done unfortunately. Months of disassembly & other boats will do more damage than pulling it off
@MateoImmanuel: @DonaldJTrumpJr They should airlift it. Move it a little. Then pull the whole thing. Win-win. Or I'm just making it sound easy.
@DonaldJTrumpJr: @MateoImmanuel I didn't say easy but u wait for high tide and pull it didn't magically fly on there if it can get on it can be pulled off
@undertheseen: @DonaldJTrumpJr agreed on the part that they should've done something right away.
@DonaldJTrumpJr: @undertheseen and that's all I've said you could have saved part of the reef and the ship instead both are worse off. Waste of resource & $
@donaldjtrumpjr @undertheseen @brianrad5 cutting up ship will damage reef more. Precisely, the Navy's concern is the ship, NOT the reef.

@donaldjtrumpjr The fact that your captain ignored the warning should make you liable for violating our own waters. They should be JAILED.
