Sabah is part of the Philippine terretory as stated in the Grade IV book used by our elementary students right now. Teaching our children of this claim, it should be exercise by our government (Philippine) so for them to have faith in our system. Damb it! People in the southern part of the Philippines were fighting for ancestral domain yet they are not fighting for their right of SABAH. Why not start fighting in Sabah to regain it? Sometimes War is necessary to expedite the matter then may be later discuss it in proper.
Because the Muslims who leased it always prefer to do transactions with co-muslims. Religion always have a role in this so conflicts of interests can't be resolved. The international law should disregard such transaction and respect the Phillipine's rights to its territory. Clearly, the international law is still being blind folded by pathetic excuses of religion and tradition.

No! The Philippine must have to send troops and order the state of Sabah anytime as it is under the Philippine Territory. Sabah is longing to have the Philippine Government for how many years and it must be satisfied in an easy way. Malaysia must have to back-off for Sabah is not under their territory from the very start.
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.
No. It is not reasonable. Sabah is part of the Philippines according to the Law. Malaysia just got a hold to Sabah temporarily as they are closed to British who been leased by a Sultan of Sulu for Sabah. The Malaysian Government resistance of returning Sabah Back to the Philippines is yet unlawful and this could make this a big shame to the Malaysian Government practicing wrong practices of Law. On September 12, 1962, during President Diosdado Macapagal's administration, the territory of North Borneo, and the full sovereignty, title and dominion over the territory were ceded by the then reigning Sultan of Sulu, HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I, to the Republic of the Philippines. [11] The cession effectively gave the Philippine government the full authority to pursue their claim in international courts. The Philippine take over to Sabah is not needed because Sabah is Already part of the Philippines from the Start. And the Philippine Government must have to show up and exercise its governance to the State of Sabah as it is really needed.
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.
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.
It's even weaker than its claim over Sabah, the northeastern region of Borneo.
If im not mistaken it is Ferdinand E. Marcos
of course specially the sultan of sulu under the kiram carpenter agreement.
the phllipines will get more land area and will own more resourses
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.
Sabah II Al-Sabah died in 1866.
