Andanar decries Trump rant vs PH and ‘terrorist states’Communications Secretary Martin Andanar has decried a recent statement by US presidential candidate Donald Trump lumping the Philippines together with other states harboring terrorists, and calling for an immigration ban on these countries. Andanar posted in his FB an image of Trump’s statement on the unveiling of the Trump Tower project in 2012. Andanar’s statement read: Considering his major real estate ‘brand’ investment in the Philippines’ financial capital called Trump Tower, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump unfortunately mentioned the Philippines in an anti-immigration speech in a political rally in Portland, Maine. In fact, Mr. Trump has even professed his love for the Philippines during the launch of his 57-storey luxury apartment in Makati.
