The United States then was given a privilege to administer the islands anytime if a one-year notice was given to the United Kingdom and in 1932, a treaty was signed between them to let the United States to administer the islands.〔 According to the treaty, Britain would fully hand over the administration to Philippine government when it gained its full independence from the United States on 4 July 1946.〔 After achieving its independence, the Philippines expressed its interest to take over the islands. The British under the Crown Colony of North Borneo officially transferred control of the islands to the Philippines in 16 October 1947. The remaining three Turtle Islands which were not turned over by UK are now part of Malaysia, which formed the Malaysian Turtle Islands National Park.
