The Philippines is still at the top of the medal tally of The 23rd Southeast Asian Games with 53 gold medals. Wow! We just keep raking them in.
It’s just sad that the Thai Prime Minister insinuated some speculations that the games are being manipulated in favor of the Philippines. I guess he’s just being bitter because Thailand, a traditional SEA Games powerhouse, is just third in the medal standing, trailing behind the Philippines and Vietnam. It’s just silly. How the hell can you rig game results? Especially those that are measured… like Athletics events?
Ayeen, Kim, Kid and I went to San Juan Gymnasium this morning to watch some SEA Games fencing events. Primarily because we were required to watch the fencing events, but of course we also went there to support our national team. Hehe.
Unlike the Rizal Memorial Sports Center stadium, the San Juan Gym was fully airconditioned. It would have been a pleasure to watch the fencers, it’s just that suddenly hoards of noisy grade school kids arrived. There were hundreds of of them annoying children who watched the games. I think their teachers were not in the mood to teach them anything today so they herded all the brats off to the school gymnasium. It’s all right if they just watched, but they were running around the gymnasium and were screaming like… kids. Plus, some of them were cheering for Thailand in an RP-Thailand game! Those brats should be flunked!! Haha.
i don’t think PM Shinawatra commented out of just being a sore loser. A runner named buenavista (didn’t bother to catch his first name) was stripped of his gold medal in the 5000m race when it was found that he tried to push aside his Thai competitor during the homestretch. The act was caught on tape.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that Pinoys are currently leading in the SEA Games, but if only our athletes perform just as good in Asian Games or even the Olympics (that means, having the most medals in SEA region), that would make me happier.
sayang di ko nasaksihan yong opening ng sea games. tagal ko pa namang inantay,..
Hi! I was browsing through the net, frantically looking for pictures for the SEA games when I stumbled upon your site. Kasama mo si Kim?
Anyway, can I copy your fencing picture? Thanks for listening!
