With just two days left to the 30th SEA Games and 135 gold medals under its belt, it’s safe to say that the Philippines is on track to clinch this year’s overall champion status.
“We got this. We are overall champions. Other countries don’t have much left to get gold medals from,” said Philippine Olympic Committee chair Steve Hontiveros.
In 2005, the Philippines won the overall crown and the country looks set to reclaim this glory with a current medal count of 135 golds, 102 silvers, and 106 bronzes. There is a close tie between Thailand (84-90-101) and Vietnam (79-78-93) for second place.
