The Royal Council of the Sulu Sultanate will present its
final position on the Sabah issue and
Federalism after its meeting on June 4 or 5 in Jolo, Sulu, Mehol Sadain, the
interim head of its media bureau and legal counsel said.
The Royal Council was formed on April 8, 2016 after the five
heirs to the Sulu Sultanate signed the Covenant of Unity representing their
commitment to the unification of the Sulu Sultanate, Mehol Sadain, interim head
of its media bureau said.
He named the five heirs as HRH Sultan Ibrahim Q. Bahjin, HRH
Sultan Muedzul-Lail Tan Kiram, HRH Sultan Mohammad Venizar Julkarnain Jainal
Abirin, HRH Sultan Muizuddin Jainal Abirin Bahjin and HRH Sultan Phugdalun
Kiram II.
The Executive Board of the Royal Council held its 4th
meeting at Astoria Hotel in Zamboanga City on May 28 and 29 to discuss organizational
matters and the twin issues of Sabah and
federalism, both of which are points of interest to incoming President Rodrigo
Duterte.
The result of the discussion will be brought to the five members
of the Royal Council for review and finalization.
Sadain told MindNews that the Executive Board, consisting of
representatives of the five Sultans and the scholars/consultants who are all
Tausug, attended the May 28-29 meeting.
He said the decisions reached in that meeting will be
brought to the attention of the Sultans for their review and final approval and
“will be made public upon approval.”
Sadain said “the twin thrust of the Duterte presidency on Sabah and Federalism were discussed during the meeting”
and “we may have the final position of the Royal Council of the Sulu Sultanate
after its meeting on June 4 and/or 5 in Jolo, Sulu.”
Duterte, the first Mindanawon president, campaigned on the
agenda, among others, of federalism, and addressing historical injustices
committed against the Bangsamoro people.
