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.
