Why is it that Pnoy is not supportive?

Hello raynejasper, because kiram did not consult with the government, not to mention it was the height of the territorial dispute with the chinese government in the spratleys and scarborough shoal. why would he care? some one's pulled the plug on this just to destroy our relations with malaysia. this shows how divided our country is and most people in the public or shadow of the political arena only care about SELF interest.

There is more to this issue than meets the eye. That will unfold in time. President Aquino acted according to what a president should have done. Not withstanding the Bangsamoro Peace Talks which Malaysia mediated upon, there are considerations which must be taken into account: The claimants had not been determined wholly, and not just because this family says Sabah is theirs, then the whole country wages a war on our neighbor. For that is what Kiram wanted to happen when he sent his supposedly royal army to Sabah, in arms. If ever there is a conflict between nations, diplomacy must prevail, not the rules of war. In taking a stern stance by asking Kiram to withdraw his men, President Aquino spared his people from shedding blood. It is not a popular decision, but it is an act of courage. Let it be said that blood is in the hands of those who conspired to carry out this evil doing.

Well one thing I know about this issue is it all started during the Ramos Administration when he attempted to study and carefully looked at the Sabah issue back then. But then he realized that the claimants to the Sultanate was too many that he tried to settle things by organizing the whole clan into choosing who is to represent them. From there on the whole clan decided to choose one and when the Arroyo administration came in she change the representative to the present leader for unknown reasons and under her Malaysia and the current leader agreed on resuming the lease payment. Now for unknown reasons as well the leadership decided to just claim Sabah without any permission from the current government under Pnoy's administration. Although there seems to be some miscommunication between the government and these group which resulted to making such drastic and violent move. There are rumors that there is someone behind all of these to push this sudden decision to takeover Sabah and push our government into a very tight situation with them. It certainly looks malicious that when Malaysia was helping our Government broker peace in Mindanao that these groups suddenly make some drastic decision to make Malaysia and the Philippines in a bad situation.

It is not because Pnoy is not supportive, it is because he understand the history of Malaysia and Philippine well and want to respect his neighbor territorial sovereignty, he refuse to be a party on a very ridiculous claim and make himself an international laughing stock like that dim-witted Sultan of Sulu who has no idea Sabah and Sarawak are two states within Malaysia.

The claim on Sabah happens so sudden that I believe both Philippine and Malaysia government came totally unprepared for it. Yes, there are rumors that someone is behind the whole thing trying to cause issues between us. Anyhow, I am really concern with the innocent people caught in this situations. I hope that things will end soon and we can all live in peace again.

Not only that he doesn't care, he has sold us to the Malaysians ! Just like what his father did during the late 60's... If Ninoy had not exposed Oplan Merdeka (freedom in Bahasa Melayu),Sabah could have been ours now for decades. This was hatched by the Marcos military to send Muslim recruits to invade Sabah in 1968. The exposed plot soured relations between Manila and Kuala Lumpur, prompting the latter to train and provide sanctuary to rebels belonging to the Moro National Liberation Front. So in actuality, rebellion in Mindanao were brainchild by Malaysia to keep us busy fighting each other while they enjoy the billions of dollar earning from oil in Sabah. Now Malaysia brokerage for Pnoy peace agreement with MILF. The question is what's the under the table agreement with Malaysia ? The giving up of Sabah ? Just asking. The Sultanate feel that this administration is giving up their Sabah, that's why they have to make a hard decision to bring this issue into limelight even if will means sacrifice of life. This president is giving up our territory to the Malaysian, and I am very much disappointed... While our citizens are being massacre, their president is siding with their killer, what a shame ! And what do you know? With billions of oil revenues, Oil-rich Sabah still the poorest state of Malaysia... http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2012/09/07/oil-rich-sabah-still-the-poorest/ Now tell me what do you think ?

I don't think that not caring at all is the correct description with what he is acting now. But I guess, he is still trying to find out what is the best way to settle this. The Sultanate of Sulo claiming the island as their would mean separating them from the whole country. And that I think is what the president wouldn't want to happen.
