President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday apologized publicly to foreign athletes for early foul ups in the Philippines’ hosting of the 30th Southeast Asian Games, vowing to investigate and deliver results during the biennial meet.
All is set for tomorrow’s opening of the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games as police, military and other allied personnel rehearse and are fully deployed to ensure the security of the athletes, delegates and sports fans.
Typhoon Kammuri is expected to hit south of Luzon where the SEA Games venues are located.
The Speaker believed the opposition is politicizing the SEA Games, noting that it’s been stepping up its media offensive even after it called for a ceasefire.
But Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, chair of the Philippine SEA Games Organizing Committee, said it’s a necessary expense.
