PHILIPPINES DREAMS BIG FALLS FLAT AT SEA GAMES 2017

The Philippine contingent to the Southeast Asian Games 2017 in Malaysia left the nation with high hopes and a projection of 50-63 gold medals but as the dusk clears with the final event of the biennial event, the RP delegation was only able to muster 24 gold medals - the country's fewest gold medal haul since the 1999 games where a huge discrepancy in the medals contested is evident.


However the greatness of the athletes that delivered in the Games was, those were easily overshadowed by the gloomy state of the country post-games. So with Philippines hosting the 2019 games, we still have a lot of months to prepare not just for the hosting but also to prepare our athletes as well. From then on we can only see if things will change.
