Social and political criticisms
PHL | March 5, 2013
In reference to the earlier article that there is a PHL law RA 5546 annexing Sabah as a PHL territory, the head of the state is duty bound, as the head of the executive branch of govt to enforce such law that has not been amended, repealed or abrogated. (Which hasnt been done) To do otherwise would be a dereliction of duty of not outright betrayal of public trust (impeachable offense?) He might be ill advised/not advised at all?
The first Kiram turned over the Sabah territory to late Pres Diosdado Macapagal who accepted the same for PHL govt.
Many unkind words have been said vs the Kiram/Sultanate of Sulu, even from the Head of State. If his posturing is for diplomatic purposes, the least he can do so as not to reflect the understanding of the history and past laws is to hold his piece/peace.
We should admire the Sultan for having the balls to assert the proprietary rights over the territory (where the Taosugs are declared as illegals and arrested/deported ). I am sure that they will give the Malaysians the same head ache that they gave the Americans, the AFP for a long long time. They are well versed in long drawn guerilla warfare.
We do not want to go to war; but we want people to understand the rights of others.
