MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Robinhood Padilla wants the government to assist the heirs of the last sultanate of Sulu in asserting their commercial rights over Sabah.

 

Padilla, in a privilege speech on Tuesday night, said he was disappointed at the government’s “seemingly negligent” response to the dispute. He adds that the family is only asking for government support.

 

“Hindi ba napakalaking kapabayaan na hinahayaan nating umasa na lamang ang Sultanato sa tulong ng pribadong organisasyon para tustusan ang lehitimong laban?,” Padilla said.

 

(Doesn’t it seem negligent on the part of the government that we just let the heirs of the Sultanate seek the help of private organizations to fend for themselves in a legitimate claim?)
