SEA Games performance

The Philippines fell to fifth place in the overall medal tally, their lowest finish since joining the SEA Games in 1977. The Filipinos failed to win a gold medal in swimming for the first time, returning with a single gold in athletics. A harvest of four golds came from Taekwondo and Billiards. The Filipinos picked up two golds each in boxing, golf and shooting. World pool champion Efren 'Bata' Reyes and golfer Gerald Rosales were the only Filipino double gold medalists in the 1999 edition of the Games.

The Manila Metrostars of the ABS-CBN-funded Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA) represented the Philippines for their basketball campaign. The Nationals captured their fifth straight basketball gold, defeating main rival Thailand, 89-69.

Philippine Olympic Committee president Celso Dayrit announced a four-year intensive elite sports development plan which the POC will undertake.[1]

gollark: Seatbelts have a really low chance of saving your life, but we still use *those*.

gollark: It's a cost/benefit thing I guess, in that while you could be near-certain of avoiding it if you totally isolated yourself from society, but that would be bad.

gollark: If you *can* avoid COVID-19 somehow you're avoiding a 2% (depending on age I guess) death risk, and I'm pretty sure people regularly do things to avoid risks smaller than that.
