The Kingdom Filipina Hacienda–Autocratic Sovereign Monarchy (KFH) is an organization based in Iligan, Philippines, associated with the sovereign citizen movement. Established in March 2008, it is led by Salvacion Legaspi, who styles herself as "Queen Majesty" and claims descent from King Luisong, asserting ownership over the Philippine archipelago through the Treaty of Paris, divine scriptures, and Holy Spirit guidance. Headquartered in a building called the Royal Castle in Barangay Pala-o, Iligan, KFH operates its own Tribunal Rural Bank and issues a currency named "euro." They do not recognize the Republic of the Philippines' government, claiming sovereignty over the Philippines, Spratly Islands, and Borneo. In 2024, they asserted the ability to resolve the South China Sea dispute via a decree but acknowledged lacking military assets, relying instead on divine intervention.

In December 2020, KFH members occupied a high school in Iligan without consent, leading to the arrest of 24 members, including Legaspi. In Singapore, British national Benjamin Glynn was arrested in May 2021 for defying COVID-19 mask mandates and harassing police, claiming sovereign immunity. Abdul Rashid, KFH's self-styled ambassador, attempted to represent Glynn without legal credentials. Lee Hui Yin disrupted the trial, facing charges for disrespecting the judge and spats with police over masks. Abdul Rashid also faced charges in 2022 for mask violations, invoking his sovereign status.
