My Point of view over Philippines claims over Sabah
honestly,
if we look on the law side of this case. sabah would fall into the hands on Malaysia.
there was no philippines authority in Sabah since it given by the Kesultanan Sulu and by giving it to the British company showed that the Sulu ruler at that time doesn’t have any intention to rule Sabah as a part of its land.
however the Philippines has the history of ruling the North Borneo. this would be one of the strong point for the Philippines. the case to claim sabah as a part of Philippines is totally wrong as only the North Borneo was under the Kesultanan Sulu. while the other part of sabah was under Kesultanan Brunei and this was including Sarawak.
it would be a interesting senario if this case would be bring to the Int.Court of Justice but i doubt that this will happen as the Sipadan and Ligitan case might repeat itself again.
Sincerely,
