Southeast Asian Games 2023

BY- MELANIE J. REAL

The 2023 Southeast Asian Games, also known as the 32nd SEA Games, is scheduled to be held in Cambodia. It is a multi-sport event that brings together athletes from countries in Southeast Asia to compete in various sports. The exact dates and list of sports for the 2023 SEA Games have been announced on May 5-17 2023 and will be held in Phnom Penh Cambodia, it is expected to include many popular sports such as athletics, swimming, football, and basketball, as well as traditional Southeast Asian sports. The announcement was made at the Southeast Asian Games Federation Council meeting in Singapore, in conjunction with the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, by the President of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia, Thong Khon.

The Philippines was originally scheduled to host the game, but was pushed forward to 2019 after Brunei withdrew to host the event. This is the first time that Cambodia hosts the games, as the 3rd Southeast Asian Peninsular Games in 1965 was canceled due to the political situations in the country at the time. The event was planned to feature 40 sports. The final number is 37 sports. All 11 members of the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) are expected to take part in the 2023 SEA GAMES. There's are the list of all the participating and delegates: Brunei (65), Cambodia (896) hosts, East Timor (90), Indonesia (599), Laos (576), Malaysia (677), Myanmar (341), Philippines (860), Singapore (558), Thailand (846), and last is the Vietnam (702).

Allyssa Valdez was tapped as the Philippines flag bearer during the opening ceremony of the 32nd Southeast Asian Games last Friday at the 60,000 seat Morodok Techo Stadium in Phnom Penh Cambodia. Valdez will lead an all-female Philipiine delegation during the parade of nations. The POC President Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino said that Allyssa best fits our goal of an almost all female delegation in the opening ceremony. “She’s not only the face of the Philippines volleyball but Philippines sports as well”. Carrying the country’s colors is nothing new for Valdez, who was also the flag bearer back in the 2015 Games held in Singapore. “It’s such an honor to be the flag bearer for

this year’s SEA games. It’s a big responsibility but I'm grateful for the trust given to me once again” said Valdez, the captain of the Philippines women’s volleyball team.

There are some of the players in the Philippines who win with a gold, silver, and bronze medal: Ej Obiena wins third straight gold, he clenched his third gold in the men’s pole vault at the SEA GAMES with a new meet record of 5.65m. He beat the previous record of 5.46m he set in Vietnam last year. Xiandi Chua delivers Philippines swimming first gold medal, Xiandi won the country’s first swimming gold in record breaking fashion after the women’s 200m backstroke (2:13.20). Chua broke the SEA GAMES record and best teammate Chloe Isleta record as the Philippine swim team won a silver medal (2:16.19). Filipino mixed martial arts veteran Robin Catalan reigned supreme in the kun bokator men’s 50 kg category, defeating Indonesia's Ada Permana in the gold medal fight. The 32-year-old Catalan beat Cambodia’s Sovan Nang by narrow decision to beat Permana in the semifinals score (58-52, 18-13, 22-28) for gold.

Carlos Yulo once again proved his leadership in Southeast Asian gymnastics, completing the men’s individual all-around triple with a total score of 84. Thanh Tung Le and Phuong Thanh Dinh of Vietnam took silver and bronze with overall scores of 80.45 and 78.15 respectively. Meanwhile, Vietnam beat the Philippines in the men’s team event for the second consecutive year with a gold medal total of 313 points. The five member Filipino crew of Yulo , Juancho Miguel Besana, Ivan Cruz, Jan Gwynn Timbang and Justine Ace de Leon took home the silver again with a combined score of 305.25.

The Philippines men’s volleyball team beat Singapore 25-23 ,23- 25, 25-22, 25-23 at the crucial moment to finish fifth in the group stage. Jade Disquitado and Fil-Am Steve Rotter had the biggest hits, but it was Javi Sumagai’s rejection at the net that sealed the Filipino’s fate. Singapore's straight set win on Saturday paved the way for the Philippines, who are winless in pool, to enter the classification stage. The Philippines men’s volleyball team bows out at 5th. Ariana Evangelista added another gold medal to her illustrious Filipino career by finishing second in the women’s mountain bike race at

the prestigious Angkor Wat. The Ilogga rider was behind Indonesia Dara Latifah and ahead of Thailand Warinthorn Phetpraphan Evangelista also won a bronze medal as part of the mixed team relay in the cross-country mountain bike event.

The karate quartet of Junna Tsukii, Jamie Lim, Remon Misu and Arianne Brito won the silver medal for the Philippines in women’s kumite after losing 2-0 to Vietnam in the final. Vietnam wins with 9 points in yuko, successful mid or advanced punches are worth one point per punch. Thi Huong Dinh, Thi My Tan Hoang, Thi Ngoan and Thi Thuong Truong gave the Vietnamese another gold medal. The Philippines retained the title of triathlon king in the region after dominating the event for the fifth time in a row. Fernando Casares won the men’s title for the second straight time in the swim bike-run event with a time of 58:33.5, securing a dominance behind Nikko Huelgas (2015, 2017) and John Leerams Chicano (2019) to retain the country’s laurels. Andrew Kim Remolino (59:55.5) also won bronze for his country behind Indonesia silver medalist Rashif Amira Yachen (58:47.7)

The Sea Games medal total in every nations today will be this: Cambodia gold 34, silver 28 and bronze 31, Thailand gold 21, silver 17 and bronze 27, Indonesia gold 21, silver 15, and bronze 40, Vietnam gold 18, silver 21, and bronze 31, Philippines gold 16, silver 23, and bronze 25, Singapore gold 11, silver 6, and bronze 13, Malaysia gold 8, silver 11, bronze 21, Myanmar gold 8, silver 7 bronze 23, Laos gold 4, silver 6 bronze 25, Brunei gold 0, silver 1, bronze 2 and lastly the East Timor gold is 0, silver 0 and bronze

Here are the medals in nations as of today’s update of the SEA GAMES 2023 in Cambodia. In conclusion, it is overwhelming that the Philippines got the 5 th ranking in the SEA games 2023 and hope that their still player/athletes in every event won a gold medal to be the top 1 of 2023 SEA GAMES.

Preparing for the SEA Games

National dailies report that the National Sports Associations (NSAs) have predicted a winning haul of 220 gold medals this coming SoutheastAsian (SEA) Games. It is an outrageous projection that baffles me, considering that in the last SEA Games, the Philippines had landed a far 6th with a haul of only 24 golds, 33 silvers and 64 bronzes. How in heaven’s name do we pole-vault from 24 golds to 220,…

A WORD FROM KRD: Tokyo 2020 Closing Credits

57 years after the 1964 first hosting, Tokyo has made it through the 2nd consecuitive hosting. Japan has hosted the Summer games in the capital once and the Winter Olympics (1972 in Sapporo & 1998 in Nagano) twice prior to the 2nd hosting of the olympiad in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Cignal, the country's leading direct-to-home satellite service in the country, which turned 12 this year, witnessed sporting events in all angles. With millions and millions have turned to Cignal and its prepaid counterpart Satlite for news, sports, entertainment, and more; the MVP-owned pay television service, along with telecom giants PLDT and Smart, and Terrestrial broadcasters TV5 Network (TV5 and One Sports) forged with Dentsu, a global content provider and distributor, to bring non-stop olympic coverage to filipino audiences on satellite and terrestrial TV, and on digital platforms via streaming.

The stalled olympics pushed through this year. The campaign for Team Philippines began with 19 athletes, equaled to that of Sydney games 21 years ago. Four boxers, most in the number of athletes. Followed by Three athletes in Golf, while Weightlifting, Athlethics, and Swimming with two athletes each; and one athlete in: Judo, Skateboarding, Rowing, Shooting, Artistic Gymnastics, and Taekwondo.

Aside from the Philippines, two other nations had their historic Gold medals in the Olympics for the 1st time: Bermuda, and Qatar.

Filipinos tuned in to Team Philippines action for the entire two-week duration of the games. One by one, athletes failed. Then, only the best and strongest were prevail. Meet your Pinoy Big Four in Tokyo 2020: Our medalists who performed very well in this quadrennial meet and they deserved them the best. In this month's A Word from KRD, we will pay homage to the athletes in our own little way. Our salute to them.
