Something a lot of Pinoy's don't know about Sabah and the Aquinos

It was Marcos who give up see the file of Ferdinand Marcos Speech on 1973. It is easy to manipulate but it is hard to accept the truth. Philippine Politics lost it values after 1971 Election and after the re-election Ferdinand Marcos. If Sabah was own by the Philippines did you ever remember a time that it was included in our election or in history from Garcia, Magsaysay, Macapagal,Marcos, Aquino, Ramos, Estrada, Macapagal and so forth. Was there a declaration of principles. There was a referendum held before on Sabah for the resident there to select of their Nationality and it was decided by them and they select Malaysia. Why those people in Sulu did not react on that referendum. On year 1717 it was allegedly awarded to Sultan of Sulu but it was not revealed and made known to Pilipino people. If on those years 1717 the Sultan and his family elected to live in Sabah and leave Sulu . What will happen to the Philippines if that Sultan will attack Sulu and will claimed the Island as their own on same date today. If they are really true to their claimed why they did not turn-over that Island to the Philippine Government and let our poor brothers muslim cultivate the Island, it is a rich in miniral Island. I am a historian and I know much more than your ancestors knew we want peace today at my age I have not seen clean Politics in the Philippines but those who benefited from corrupt Officials usually invent stories and create their own always remember we are still alive many of us.

Is this the reason why the Sabah issue is being set aside in the country and we often see the conclave (not that its unimportant) but lives are being lost in the Sabah claim. i really hope that the government woulld give value to the life of our Filipino brothers in Sabah and that he sends support to pull them out of there or to help them with their battle.

That is really sad. I wish there would come a time wherein we would have a President that could really make a difference, for the better. I know Marcos made several mistakes in his reign but it is also a fact that he also had done a lot of great things for our country. Some old folks say that Philippines was number one in electronics before and Japan was even importing from us. Also in terms of defense, I've heard that Marcos has a plan for Corregidor and many others. It is really disgusting to look at our leaders. Even the candidates for the Senatorial positions are really far from promising. This is really the time to elect people base on their integrity, education and knowledge and not base on popularity.

Hello Anne, sometimes i wonder if Erap should have won again since we don't celebrate EDSA II because it was done out of propaganda by Gloria Arroyo and her allies. indeed, he is very cold with the sabah issue, probably he wants to keep the promise of her parent's alliance with the malaysian government, which is very sad. i hope no one from their family will ever ran again because this is really sad

So, that's the reason, If any one can asked for the support of any foreign country in exchange of a piece of Philippine Territory then what will happen to us, to our future, asking for the support of enemy to corrupt your own country, that is ridiculous.

If this is really true, what a shame! Shame on us pinoys for idolising such man and shame on the aquinos! I really wished Marcos is still around serving as the president (minus Imelda :D).

I was born in late 70s too and was in school in the 80s. I did notice that after the people power, the Sabah claim all became hush hush. Not surprising. Lives already wasted in exchange for being cold about the Sabah issue. Tsk tsk. May God help the Philippines.

What is rightfully ours should be bestowed. We should be firm.Otherwise we will not be respected.

What can we do? Government can only pay attention to the issues it wants to tackle, as if the people don't get relief from the experience they are having day after day. It the same with other governments in other countries. But the only thing that really stinks is when they get credit for the issue as if they were the only one involved. One good reaosn to hate politics, even it affects the most of us. On your last statement-completely agree.
