Up to present, Malaysia is still renting Sabah to Philippines. Yes, the Philippines can get it back because it legally belongs to the Sultanate of Sulu (Philippines). The Best way for the Philippine government to claim it back is improve first its Economy. Make the Philippine economy more than enough to support and for the Sabahans and Sarawakans to be happy to go back and be united again with their Muslims brothers and Christian neighbours in Mindanao.
sabah
The Philippines has historically claimed sovereignty over Sabah, but currently recognizes Sabah as part of Malaysia through the 1963 Manila Accord. However, some groups and individuals in the Philippines continue to assert the country's claim over Sabah.
Spratly and Sabah Islands are two territories claimed by Philippines. Spratly is a group of 52 Islands of which only seven are occupied by Philippines. Sabah islands are a disputed territory between Malaysia and Philippines and are presently occupied by Malaysia.
The Philippines wants Sabah to be part of the country simply because, historically speaking, it was once owned by a certain Sultan of the Sulu Island..So, the Philippines claimed that it must be theirs because of such reason. Going to Sabah, we can find that most if not all of the things that you can find their is the same with those in the Philippines.
The three territories claimed by the Philippines are Scarborough Shoal, part of the Spratly Islands, and part of the South China Sea within its exclusive economic zone. These territories are subject to overlapping claims by neighboring countries in the region.
By invasion i suppose. Personally, i dont think Sabah wants to go to the Philippines (or stay in Malaysia for that matter).
The Philippines claims ownership over the Spratly Islands but there are multiple countries, including China and Vietnam, that also claim sovereignty over all or parts of the islands. Sabah is part of Malaysia, not the Philippines.
Malaysia ignores the philippines calim of sabah. Because the malaysian goverment is currently profiting out of sabah which is part of the philippines. If I were the sabahan I would have joined the philippines instead,but I dont blame them they were tricked into voting against the Philippines. local Sabahan's illiteracy where exploited into voting against the Philippines.
emillio aguinaldo do you have more information about emelio aguinaldo that he is the first claimant of Sabah
Because of the oil and money the malaysia goverment is so greedy. Malaysia is currently profiting out of sabah which is part of the philippines if I were the sabahan I would have joined the philippines instead,but I dont blame them they were tricked into voting against the Philippines. local Sabahan's illiteracy where exploited into voting against the Philippines.
The standstill in the Philippines' claim over Sabah is due to the historical dispute between the Philippines and Malaysia over the ownership of Sabah. The claim dates back to the late 19th century when Sabah, then known as North Borneo, was leased to the British North Borneo Company. Despite periodic discussions, both countries have been unable to reach a resolution due to the complexities of the issue and political sensitivities.
Jose Rizal did not resolve the Sabah issue with Malaysia, as it arose after his death in 1896. The Sabah territorial dispute between Malaysia and the Philippines continues to be an unresolved issue related to historical claims. Rizal's focus was on advocating for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period.
