TAMA si [Senator Miriam Defensor] Santiago baka madehado ang claim natin sa Sabah… dapat careful ang Congress sa pagpasa sa Philippine baseline bill kasi parang walang alam ang mga lawmakers na ‘yan sa mga territorial claims ng Pilipinas.
Dapat ‘wag na nating pakawalan pa ang Sabah.

As nationalist Filipino, we must support our claim to Sabah. It is our legitimate right that it belongs to us as evidenced by the continued payment of lease by Malaysia to the Sultanate of Jolo. Only because of conspiracy by the East India Company that it was incorporated in the formation of Federation of Malaysia that it comes into being part of Malaysia intead of the Philippines.
If only we have incorruptible leaders that can pursue this mission of recovery through diplomatic, legal and persuasion or sale if need be.
But before this, we must have to attain: Firstly;Patriotic Filipinos, Robust economy, Strong Military, Peace all over the archipelago (No insurgents/rebels), Employment for every citizen and food for every table in each household.
Secondly; Initiate dialogues with Malaysia with the participation of the Sultanate of Jolo on means to resolve this issue. At the same time another approach is to go to the U.N. or the International Court and diplomatic approaches with our ASEAN friends to pressure Malaysia to give in.
Only by exhausting all this approaches that we can truly stand to the world community that Filipinos are but one, undivided and will pursue what rightfully belongs to the motherland.

The Philippines should forget the Sabah issue, the government is incapable of governing decently the current territory, people, and resources as it is, to acquire additional territory will just add more dissatisfied potential Filipinos, wasteful exploitation of natural resources..

There are things that are easier said than done, but this should not stop us from claiming what is rightfully ours. Kailangang nga lang maging mabusisis ang ating mga mambabatas at isipin nila kung ano yung magiging pinaka-advantageous for the our country in terms of establishing our sovereign rights over disputed territories. Mahirap kung mag-eengage tayo sa war just to defend our claims over such territories since we don’t have military supremacy over other claimants. We just have to use existinginternational laws to our utmost advantage in setting our baselines. Dun naman sa iba nating kababayan, sana naman ay bigyang pansin din nila ang ganitong issue tulad ng concern na meron sila over the newest gadgets and other mundane things.
