Conrado de Quiros ed Sabah: Say tugtuwan mureng [CDQ on Sabah: The real idiot]

Pinmaway natan ed PDI so aalageyan nen De Quiros nipaakar ed Sabah.

Say kuanto say akankasalanan na krisis ed Sabah et saray Kiram. Et say kaokolan ya nikolong kono et iray Kiram.

Why did the Inquirer allow such a lousy opinion piece to grace its pages? Of course, freedom of expression allows anything whether it is supported by facts or not.

De Quiros has missed completely that Sabah claim is not yet withdrawn waiting to be pursued not tomorrow but now. The Supreme Court in deciding the baselines law suggests that the claim to that territory of the Philippines is valid and legal. It is incumbent upon the president to reclaim it as regards the land and the proprietary rights of the Sultanate of Sulu and Sabah.

The failure of Pnoy in dealing properly with the Kirams shows the utter incompetence of the present administration.

The peace agreement with the MILF cannot be rushed. Malaysia is bent on excluding Sabah from the peace agreement and the Philippine government acts like a fool and a pawn to the landgrabbers.

The Kirams were trying to communicate with Aquino but their letters were ignored. Three years have passed but Aquino has yet to form the Bi-partisan Legislative-Executive Advisory Council on Sabah (BELACS) initiated during Ramos time.

BELACS is part to blame because the composition changes every after elections. There should have been a permanent council on Sabah as legislated by law.

Unong ed abogado na Sultanato, nen 2011 anggad 2013, ag ni nanbayar na renta so Malaysia. The Malaysian renters have not paid the customary payment to the Sultanate of Sulu amounting to a measly 5000 Malaysian ringgit.

Did the royal army of the Sulu Sultanate plan to invade Sabah? No.

According to De Quiros, the people of Sabah had spoken that they belong to Malaysia; that they are central to the issue. This is beside the point. Who said that we wanted them to join the Philippines? In the first place, if the Sulu Sultanate did not agree to lease the land to the British and all the things that happened after that, the Sabahans could have been Filipinos since the promulgation of the 1935 Philippine constitution.

I have realized that De Quiros writes like a crazy demagogue, an inane propagandist whose style and tone is pompous, self-righteous and pretentious.
