The Philippines claims ownership over the Spratly Islands but there are multiple countries, including China and Vietnam, that also claim sovereignty over all or parts of the islands. Sabah is part of Malaysia, not the Philippines.
The aim of Maphilindo, a proposed confederation between the Philippines (Ma), Indonesia (Phil), and Malaysia (Indo), was to promote unity, cooperation, and mutual support among the three Southeast Asian nations. It aimed to strengthen diplomatic ties, enhance regional security, and foster economic development in the region.
The Philippines is a country in Southeast Asia, not a city or state. It is made up of more than 7,000 islands and has its own government, currency, and culture.
No, the Philippines is not a copycat country. While it is true that some cultural influences and trends from other countries may be present, the Philippines also has its own unique culture, traditions, and identity that set it apart.
Yes, the Republic of the Philippines is a country in East Asia. The Philippines was the first democratic republic in Asia but was short-lived. General Emilio Aguinaldo declared the republic in June 12, 1898. It was dissolved when the general was captured by the Americans in 1901. After the Second World War, the United States granted Philippines independence on July 4, 1946 as the Third Republic of the Philippines.
Yes, the Philippines is a beautiful country with a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes. It is known for its friendly people, delicious cuisine, and vibrant festivals. However, like any country, it also faces its own challenges.
According to my extensive research, NO ONE own the Spratly Islands, but the Chinese dynasty during year 200 AD claim it and saying those part of the Island are belongs to them. In addition, Chinese dynasty named this island "Nansha Island." This island was not Spratly back since 1791 Captain Spratle name under his name. For sure, China never own Spratley Island, but more relatively (but not really, its close) own Philippine government..
Who should own the Spratly islands and why? Actually the Philippines was sold by Spain to the United States during the 1900s. Nobody can deny that. These list of countries, including China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei, were not establish yet Unlike Spain in the Philippines. do this list of countries had Jose Rizal?
Philippines since it is very near to Philippines
the phllipines will get more land area and will own more resourses
Spratlys islands has a lot of oil. And it has a lot of natural resources. That is why china wants is so badly,they are selfish and they want to own something eventhough it belongs to someone, they will force it. China is a big bully compared to the other countries.. the spratly islands really belongs to philippines...

Sub-groupsCommonly, many sub-groups of Badjao are named after the place or island they live-in for many years. Even though they are called Bajau, each sub-groups has their own unique language, cultures and tradition. However, certain sub-groups are able to understand the languages of other sub-groups. For example, some Bajau understand the Bajau Ubian language, and the Bajau Ubian and Simunul in Sabah are able to understand and speak the Tausug language called the Suluk language in Sabah. The general terms for the native languages of the Bajau is Вahasa Вajau or Sinama. Lists of Bajau sub-groups:Ubian - Originate from the island South Ubian in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines and make up the largest Bajau sub-group in Sabah. They reside in sizable minorities living around the towns of Kudat and Semporna in Sabah, Malaysia.Bannaran - Another subgroup of Bajau originated from Bannaran Island in Tawi-Tawi. Mostly found in Kudat, Kunak, Semporna and Tawau.Sama - Commonly known as Bajau Kota Belud, because most of them live in or near area of Kota Belud, Sabah. This is actually a misnomer as they can be found all over the west coast of the state, and not just in Kota Belud. They call themselves Sama, not Bajau and their neighbours, the Dusuns also call them Sama, not Bajau. British administrators originally defined them as Bajau.Samah/Sama Sulawesi Selatan' (Malaysia)[8]Simunul - Simunul people can be found at Kampung Bokara, Sandakan, Semporna and Lahad Datu Towns. Simunul is an island in Tawi-Tawi where many Sama Simunul are still found and are the majority there.

No trace of them anywhere else even in the Philippines.Pala'u - The word Pala'u in Bajau means boat-dwelling. This sub-group originally lived on boats all the time but almost all have taken to living on land in the Philippines. In Malaysia the boat-dwelling culture has been retained by some, but many others have built homes on land.Tabawan (Philippines, Malaysia) - This sub-group was rarely found in Sabah before 1970s.

They have recently migrated to Sabah.This is from wikipedea
1. The Philippine Deep is rare to find and could not be found in any other part of the world because they have their own too, in different measurement and different form. 2. The Palawan, Philippines Longest Underground River of the world. This natural formation has become a world known tourist spot because it is accessible by human from end to end. The length of this underground river is 15 KM. 3. The Philippines itself. It is one of the wonder of the world. The 7,101 Island excluding the Philippine Owned Land "Sabah" which currently rented by Malaysia; you could not imagine that thousands of island that build the Philippines to form into 1 country.
