The Philippines has a long and complex history, and as a result, there are several territories that were once part of the country but are no longer. These territories include North Borneo, the Spratly Islands, and Scarborough Shoal.

North Borneo is now part of the Malaysian state of Sabah. It is located on the island of Borneo, which is also shared by Indonesia and Brunei. The Philippines claimed North Borneo in 1962, based on the argument that the territory was once part of the Sultanate of Sulu, which was a vassal state of the Spanish Empire. However, the United Nations ruled in favor of Malaysia, and the Philippines abandoned its claim in 1966.

The Spratly Islands are a group of islands located in the South China Sea. They are claimed by several countries, including China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan. The Spratly Islands are strategically important because they control shipping lanes in the South China Sea. The Philippines has occupied several islands in the Spratly Islands since the 1970s, but its claim to the islands is disputed by other countries.

Scarborough Shoal is also located in the South China Sea. It is claimed by the Philippines and China. The Philippines has occupied Scarborough Shoal since 2012, but China has been asserting its own claim to the shoal in recent years. The shoal is important because it is a fishing ground and a potential source of oil and gas.

The territories that were once part of the Philippines are a reminder of the country's rich and complex history. They also raise important questions about the nature of sovereignty and the role of international law in resolving territorial disputes.

Here are some additional details that you may want to include in your description:

The Philippines has also claimed several other territories throughout its history, including the Palau Islands, the Sulu Archipelago, and the Caroline Islands. However, these claims were never recognized by other countries, and the Philippines has since abandoned them.
The territorial disputes involving the Philippines are complex and have been ongoing for many years. There is no easy solution to these disputes, and they are likely to continue to be a source of tension in the region for many years to come.
