The main source of data used in this study was the result of interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and literature studies conducted in Tahu, and Marore (Sangihe). The findings in this study are as follows. First, the acquisition of knowledge about the Homeland as a political concept, as well as national pride border communities today is increasing due to the development of information technology and the maintenance of nationalism efforts undertaken by the Government. Second, nationalism is defined by the state as measured by people’s understanding toward the concept of nationalism which is less relevant to the socio-economic context of low income border communities. Third, the maintenance of nationalism efforts can be done to accommodate and provide space for cultural identity development of border communities in Indonesia.

Various efforts were made by the Government of Indonesia to provide a territorial comprehension in order to make the younger generation understand about the circumstances of their country. One effective way is through Territorial Atlas of The Republic of Indonesia, which is the result from collaboration project between Geospatial Information Agency and Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia. This atlas is intended towards the benefit of teenage children, who are taking middle education level between the ages of 12-15 years. It is necessary for children at that age to be equipped with spatial intelligence related to the territorial comprehension of Indonesia, the historical development of the Republic of Indonesia, and also the natural resources potential of their country. This comprehension is needed considering that adolescence is a vulnerable age who require self-actualization, so they need to get a correct understanding of the NKRI region in order to foster the sense of nationalism.

By using descriptive, qualitative study methods, the confidential information of cross-border agreements (borders of the Transboundary Agreement) between Indonesia and the Philippines, especially on the island of Miangas, is an example of a dispute that can be clarified through the legal certainty of international Albitration. Keywords: Miangas; Dispute; Border Agreement.

Melalui metode deskriptiv kualitatif kajian ini bermaksud menggambarkan implementasi dari perjanjian lintas batas perbatasan (Border Crossing Agreement) antara Indonesia dan Filipina khususnya terhadap pulau miangas, sehingga kasusnya yang masih menjadi sengketa perbatasan dapat di perjelas melalui kepastian hukum Albitrasi Internasional.

    CHAPTER II THE BEGINNING OF INDONESIAN CITIZENS IN MINDANAO AND THEIR BILATERAL RELATIONS This chapter aims to explore the origins of the arrival of Indonesian citizens to Mindanao Island, Southern Philippines, where there are several perspectives from different points of view in explaining its history. This chapter also explains the life history of Indonesian citizens while in Mindanao, Southern Philippines. It also later explains about the bilateral relations between the Indonesian government and the Philippine government. A. The Arrival of Indonesian Citizens to Mindanao, Southern Philippines 1. The first opinion which is based on stories from ancestors Generally, Indonesian citizens who come to Mindanao region of the Southern Philippines are residents from the Indonesian border, especially from the Sangir and Talaud Islands, North Sulawesi Province. The community has lived and settled in the area for decades, even the majority of its citizens have been born in the border area between Indonesia and the Philippines and have several descendants who also live in the area without obtaining a clear citizenship status from the local government. The arrival of Indonesian citizens into the Mindanao region, the Southern Philippines has recorded a history of more than three generations, among are:22 a.

  • The Early 20Th-Century U.S.-Dutch Conflict Over Pulau Mangias: Its
    129 The Early 20th Century U.S.-Dutch Conflict over Pulau Mangias: Its Relevance to Asia’s Contemporary Maritime and Territorial Disputes Allan Chester NADATE Earl David DUMALAOG I WHILE THE RECENTLY HELD Philippine national elections saw many new faces contending for the top positions of public office, the campaigns converged on the same promises. Iterations of platforms on inclusive growth, social justice, political maturity, and economic stability were projected over airwaves, plastered on screens, scattered in print, and spread by word-of- mouth with peculiar uniformity. Social media drew storms of conflicting opinions, with factions uncompromising in their deification of leaders who profess advocacy likewise echoed by political opponents. Parties and blocs rallied for candidates who, all announced, would perpetuate the same propaganda on meeting mutual needs. Slogans and banners shared cut- and-dry messages, where the better life was the catchphrase; accountability, the watchword; and prosperity, the seminal idea. One senatorial candidate, however, stood out. Departing from the bandwagon and far removed from the old, familiar refrains, Jacel Kiram campaigned with the distinct and singular claim that she would take back Sabah, declaring further that “ang teritoryo ng Pilipinas tayong mga Filipino lang ang makinabang” (Only Filipinos should benefit from Philippine territory) (Legaspi 2016). And while she did not win a seat in the Senate, the issue of the disputed territory entered the generally prosaic roster of electoral topics (Espina 2016; Torregoza 2016). Her loss, Volume 52:1117 (2016) 118130 A.C.B. NADATE & E.D.

Untuk mempercepat pembangunan kawasan tersebut, Indonesia dan Filipina dapat melaksanakan strategi yang memanfaatkan konektivitas sosial yang sudah dibangun oleh masyarakat perbatasan yang dikenal dengan istilah Sangir-Philipina (Sapi) atau Philipina-Sangir (Pisang). Berdirinya Indonesia dan Filipina sebagai dua negara yang berdaulat sejak berakhirnya Perang Dunia II ternyata tidak menghentikan orang Sapi/Pisang untuk melakukan kegiatan lintas batas tradisional untuk tujuan sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi. Tulisan ini menganalisis bagaimana dampak negatif dan dampak positif dari konektivitas sosial di atas dalam membangun kawasan perbatasan Indonesia- Filipina. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, diskusi kelompok terpimpin, penelitian lapangan dan studi pustaka. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa konektivitas sosial antar orang-orang Sapi/Pisang di sisi Indonesia dan di sisi Filipina menimbulkan masalah berupa orang-orang tanpa kewarganegaraan, kegiatan lintas batas ilegal, dan aktivitas terkait terorisme. Namun demikian, Tulisan ini juga menemukan dampak positif dari konektivitas sosial di atas berupa terjalinnya kerja sama lintas batas tradisional dan perdagangan, pembukaan jalur kapal feri Davao-Bitung, dan kerja sama antarpemerintah daerah.
