The minority of the islands of Spratly and Sabah are officially occupied by the Phillipinos. However the other portions are scattered about between Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam. The islands are acclaimed as Philippines simply because they are influenced predominantly by Phillipino culture.
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 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.
It's even weaker than its claim over Sabah, the northeastern region of Borneo.
The Philippines has ongoing territorial disputes over Scarborough Shoal, Spratly Islands, and Sabah. These territories are claimed by other countries, including China and Malaysia.
Richard Spratly died in 1866.
According to my extensive research, NO ONE own the Spratly Islands, but the Chinese dynasty during year 200 AD claim it and saying those part of the Island are belongs to them. In addition, Chinese dynasty named this island "Nansha Island." This island was not Spratly back since 1791 Captain Spratle name under his name. For sure, China never own Spratley Island, but more relatively (but not really, its close) own Philippine government..
