The Sabah dispute between the Philippines and Malaysia is rooted in the ambiguous 1878 treaty between the Sultanate of Sulu and the British North Borneo Company. This treaty, interpreted as either a lease by the Philippines or a cession by Malaysia, led to conflicting claims over Sabah's sovereignty. The British transferred Sabah to Malaysia in 1963, further complicating matters. Efforts to resolve the dispute have included various diplomatic negotiations, legal challenges, and proposals for peaceful territorial dispute resolution. Despite attempts by Philippine leaders to renounce or downplay the claim, including efforts by Presidents Marcos, Aquino, and Arroyo, the issue remains contentious. The ongoing conflict strains bilateral relations and is further complicated by broader regional disputes in the South China Sea, leaving the matter unresolved and perpetuating tension between the two ASEAN nations.
