The Philippine government has assured Malaysia that Manila is not involved in statements on issues pertaining to the claim on Sabah. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said, during the Asean Foreign Ministers Retreat in Singapore recently the matter was personally clarified to him by Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano who explained that the issue is being manipulated by certain parties to gain political mileage. Last month, Philippines Consultative Committee member Aquilino Pimentel Jr, who was appointed to review the 1987 Constitution, said he would propose the inclusion of Sabah in the Philippines as part of the country's shift to a federal system of government. Datuk Seri Anifah added, details on Sabah rights in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 are being discussed with Attorney-General, Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali. The discussion is still ongoing and he hoped to present the findings to the Prime Minister and the cabinet by the end of this month. (Soundbite of Datuk Seri Anifah Aman / Foreign Minister.)
