This question is very hard to answer by a political inclined or minded people. Considering that the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo is not a political government must present no problem . Islam is being practiced worldwide as well as catholic , in all constitution of the world the religion is not an issue because it is separate and distinct from political governance. The culture and tradition is the only object of the Traditional Kingdom without intervention to political framework of both Malaysia and Philippines.
It is an issue that Malaysia and Philippines are afraid to face being on the opposite side of catholic and Islam.Their political people has the wrong insinuations or in short they are afraid of each other shadow. What suffer here is the people of the kingdom , Malaysia do not want to develop Sabah ,the Philippines do not want to develop Mindanao. This stale mate positions put the people of the kingdom at a very dangerous edge. It is up to these two country to look after the people of the kingdom since they came first before the Republic of the Philippines as well as Malaysia.This cannot be reversed that who came first must give way.
The Philippines is said to be reluctant to assist the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo for many varied reasons The speculations that Malaysia is paying the administration government of the Philippines in tunes of Millions could be true. Philippines gave more weight to the diplomatic relation with Malaysia rather than to assist the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo. The Philippines is exactly on the same situations as Malaysia for the fact that Sulu kingdom was not conquered by the Spanish and therefore it is considered still as a free country with sovereignty, the fear of both Malaysia and the Philippines to the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo kingdom to become sovereign power is the top reason why Malaysia and Philippines has to contend to keep the kingdom suppressed. The war in Mindanao is one of the example - Malaysia is supporting MNLF and MILF , the Philippines is seemingly condoning it to keep the Sultanate people busy and at the same time reducing their population by allowing themselves to kill each other by the principle of "Ethnic Cleansing". The proprietary ownership of the Sultanate of Sulu and sabah to both Philippines and Malaysia is being grab by both to keep the kingdom in poverty.

Malaysia and Philippines do knew that the Royal Sulu and North Borneo Traditional Kingdom did not diminished as they want it to appear with the aid of the Americans and British. Their own shadow are haunting them for fear of Political renaissance, their current stand is to keep the Kingdom under their feet and believes it will stay that way forever.This is not the case because the historical and legal rights will always prevail no matter how they buried the kingdom , it will rise to the time appointed. The solution is not complicated but the greed behind being implemented by both country is not the long term solution to follow. There is people , there is leadership and there is governance, how could Malaysia and Philippines can kill the historical and legal rights of the people of the kingdom by their political maneuver? It is a simple as ABC, Malaysia and Philippines must acknowledge the kingdom for in the first place they have the legal and historical rights to exist like any other traditional kingdom of the world.
The title Sultan is similar to the King under the Islamic Royal Leadership. It was introduced in the Sulu archipelago by the first Arab missionary who founded the Royal Sulu and North Borneo Kingdom , Said Abubakkar. The earliest recorded history dates back in 1470 when Royal Sultanate of Sulu Kingdom was established. The Sultanate has said to be in good relation with Chinese Empire exchanging gifts and pleasantry dates back. Today, the Royal Sulu and North Borneo kingdom has lost the political power and now under the Traditional leadership of his HRH Sultan Esmail D. Kiram II. The uniquiness of practicing the traditional government was now divided between the Republic of the Philippines and Malaysia. The center of the kingdom is the island of Sulu located in the Philippines but majority catholics, the opposite is Sabah which was now under the administration of Malaysia and majority Muslim. The advocacy of the current and reigning Sultan HRH Esmail D. KIram II is neutral to both Muslim and Christian which seems very hard to understand by both country under Islamic principle.
