Southeast Asian Games appearances (overview)

892 athletes competed for the Philippines at the games and were joined by 308 officials.[1]

The chief of mission to the games was Jose Miguel Arroyo.[2] At the opening ceremony, the Philippine delegate was accompanied by Miss International 2005, Precious Lara Quigaman, then WBC Lightweight Champion, Manny Pacquiao and local celebrity, Angel Locsin.

Sports and athlete development

To ensure proper and intensive training, most of the athletes were sent to China for a five-month training process. Innovations in terms of acquisition of new facilities and proper budget allocation were the main concerns of the Philippine Sports Commission in cooperation with the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).

The POC awarded all medalists cash incentives.
