{{2019 Southeast Asian Games}}
The '''2019 Southeast Asian Games''', officially known as the '''30th Southeast Asian Games''', or the '''30th SEA Games,''' and commonly known as '''Philippines 2019''', was the 30th edition of the [[SEA Games|Southeast Asian Games]], a biennial regional [[multi-sport]] event which was held in the Philippines from 30 November to 11 December 2019. However, due to a narrow calendar, some sports started before the opening ceremony as early as November 24.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://tempo.com.ph/2018/03/09/10-day-manila-seag-slated/|title=10-day Manila SEAG slated|last=Giongco|first=Nick|date=March 9, 2018|work=Tempo|access-date=March 9, 2018}}</ref>

This edition was marked by the first major decentralization in the history of the Games, with competition venues spread in 23 cities across the country and divided into four clusters; all were located on the island of [[Luzon]] ([[Metro Manila]], [[Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone|Clark]], [[Subic, Zambales|Subic]]/[[Olongapo]], and a fourth cluster consisting of standalone venues in [[Cavite]], [[Laguna (province)|Laguna]], and [[La Union]]). This was the country's fourth time to host the games, and its first since [[2005 SEA Games|2005]]. Previously, it had also hosted the [[1981 SEA Games|1981]] and [[1991 SEA Games|1991]] editions of the games. This edition was most notable for being the first edition to include [[esports]], obstacle course race, kurash, sambo, underwater hockey, breaking, surfing, modern pentathlon, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and skateboarding; as well as having the highest number of sports in the history of the games, at a total of 56.

The hosting rights were originally awarded to [[Brunei]] in 2012,<ref name="Brunei Host">{{cite news|url=http://www.bt.com.bn/sports-national/2012/07/18/sea-games-brunei-host-2019-games |title=SEA GAMES 'Brunei to host 2019 Games'|last=Jason|first=Thomas|date=July 18, 2012|work=[[The Brunei Times]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713012157/http://www.bt.com.bn/sports-national/2012/07/18/sea-games-brunei-host-2019-games|archive-date=July 13, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> but the country pulled out days before the [[2015 SEA Games]] due to "financial and logistical reasons."<ref name="Brunei Withdraws">{{cite news|url=http://www.themalaymailonline.com/sports/article/philippines-step-in-as-brunei-pull-out-from-hosting-2019-sea-games|title=Philippines step in as Brunei pull out from hosting 2019 SEA Games|work=[[The Malay Mail]]|date=June 5, 2015|access-date=June 6, 2015}}</ref>

The Philippines was previously slated to host the [[2023 SEA Games]] but, in July 2015, it agreed to host the Games after Brunei's withdrawal (with Cambodia taking its place for 2023). However, the Philippines' hosting was left uncertain following the withdrawal of government support two years later as it planned to use the funds intended for the games for the rehabilitation of [[Marawi]] after [[Siege of Marawi|being occupied by ISIS supporters]]. [[Thailand]] and [[Indonesia]] offered to host the games with the latter planning to reuse the venues used for the [[2018 Asian Games]].<ref name="Thailand ready">{{cite news|url=http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/sports/2017/08/08/thailand-willing-to-replace-philippines-as-2019-sea-games-host|title=Thailand willing to replace as SEA Games 2019 host|work=[[Free Malaysia Today]]|date=August 8, 2017|access-date=August 11, 2017|archive-date=April 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190425170345/https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/sports/2017/08/08/thailand-willing-to-replace-philippines-as-2019-sea-games-host/|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, by August 16, 2017, the Philippine government reversed its withdrawal.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://globalnation.inquirer.net/159775/ph-host-sea-games-2019-dfa|title=PH to host SEA Games in 2019|last=Roxas|first=Pathricia Ann|date=August 17, 2017|work=Philippine Daily Inquirer|access-date=August 17, 2017}}</ref>

The host country, [[Philippines at the 2019 SEA Games|Philippines]], emerged in the medal tally as the overall champion for the first time in 14 years, breaking its own medal count record in 2005, followed by [[Vietnam at the 2019 SEA Games|Vietnam]] and [[Thailand at the 2019 SEA Games|Thailand]]. Several games and national records were broken during the games. Amidst [[Concerns and controversies at the 2019 SEA Games|numerous controversies and problems]], the games were deemed generally successful with the rising standard of competition amongst the Southeast Asian nations, with its hosting being lauded by the [[Olympic Council of Asia]] for its facilities and hospitality. The Philippines planned to bid for the hosting rights for the [[2030 Asian Games]] but was unable to submit the bid by the deadline.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/20/18/cayetano-says-philippines-plans-to-bid-for-2030-asian-games|title=Cayetano says Philippines plans to bid for 2030 Asian Games|date=August 20, 2018|work=ABS-CBN News|access-date=August 20, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://sports.mb.com.ph/2019/12/02/oca-vice-president-urges-ph-bid-for-asian-games/|title=OCA vice president urges PH: Bid for Asian Games|date=December 2, 2019|work=Manila Bulletin|access-date=December 12, 2019}}</ref>

== Host selection ==
As per [[SEA Games]] traditions, hosting duties are rotated among the SEA Games Federation (SEAGF) member countries. Each country is assigned to host the event in a predetermined year, but the country could choose to withdraw or not host that edition.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.weekender.bworldonline.com/2015/09/25/ready-for-sea-games-2019/|title=Ready for SEA Games 2019|author=Michael Angelo S.

In July 2012, the SEAGF meeting in [[Myanmar]] confirmed that [[Malaysia]] would host the regional biennial event in 2017, should there be no other country willing to bid for the games.<ref name="thestar">{{cite web|url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2012/7/18/sports/11682220&sec=sports|title=Malaysia to host 2017 SEA Games|work=Bernama|publisher=The Star|date=July 18, 2012|access-date=August 6, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720015807/http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=%2F2012%2F7%2F18%2Fsports%2F11682220&sec=sports|archive-date=July 20, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Olympic Council of Malaysia]] (OCM) secretary general Sieh Kok Chi, who attended the meeting, said that [[Myanmar]] would host the Games in 2013, followed by [[Singapore]] in 2015 and [[Brunei]] in 2017. However, the sultanate gave up hosting the Games in 2017, in exchange for having more time to organize the 2019 edition. Brunei hosted the Games only once in [[1999 SEA Games|1999]] and planned to upgrade its sports facilities and build a new national stadium in [[Salambigar]] to accommodate the Games.<ref name="Brunei Host" /><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bt.com.bn/news-national/2014/03/21/brunei-ready-host-2019-sea-games|title=Brunei ready to host 2019 SEA Games|work=[[The Brunei Times]]|date=March 21, 2014|author=Quratul-ain Bandial|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150613000602/http://www.bt.com.bn/news-national/2014/03/21/brunei-ready-host-2019-sea-games|archive-date=June 13, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, on June 4, 2015, Brunei withdrew its hosting rights at the meeting in Singapore after the said country's [[Cabinet of Brunei|Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports]] had failed to give support for the Games due to the lack of sporting facilities, accommodation, and preparation of their athletes.<ref name="Brunei Withdraws"/><ref>{{cite news|url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-games-sea-brunei-idUKKBN0OL0WG20150605|title=Brunei withdraw from hosting 2019 SEA Games|work=[[Reuters]]|date=June 5, 2015|access-date=July 18, 2015|author=Johnston, Patrick}}</ref>

On July 21, 2017, The [[Philippine Sports Commission]] (PSC) addressed the POC that it is withdrawing its support for the Philippine hosting of the 2019 Games, saying that government decided to reallocate funds meant for hosting to the rehabilitation efforts of [[Marawi]], which was left devastated following the [[Battle of Marawi]]<ref name="phwithdraws" /><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://sports.abs-cbn.com/generalsports/news/2017/07/21/phi-withdraws-hosting-2019-southeast-asian-games-28868 |title=PHI withdraws from hosting 2019 Southeast Asian Games. |last=Escarlote |first=Mark |date=July 21, 2017 |work=[[ABS-CBN Sports]] |access-date=July 21, 2017}}</ref> and it was later reported that the POC's insistence on handling all matters of the hosting; finance, security and the conduct of the Games as it did for the [[2005 SEA Games]] led to the PSC's withdrawal of support.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/sports/2017/07/22/fernandez-says-poc-forced-psc-back-out-seag-554390 |title=Fernandez says POC forced PSC to back out of SEAG |date=July 22, 2017 |work=SunStar Cebu |access-date=July 22, 2017}}</ref>

However, in August 2017, the Philippines, through the then-POC president [[Peping Cojuangco]], confirmed that the country will be hosting the 2019 SEA Games, after Cojuangco wrote to then-[[President of the Philippines|President]] [[Rodrigo Duterte]] and appealed for reconsideration.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://sports.mb.com.ph/2017/08/17/ph-to-host-2019-sea-games/ |title=PH to host 2019 SEA Games |last=Giongco |first=Nick |date=August 17, 2017 |work=Manila Bulletin |access-date=August 28, 2017 |archive-date=July 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724190120/https://sports.mb.com.ph/2017/08/17/ph-to-host-2019-sea-games/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Cojuangco has stated that the Games would be held in the [[Central Luzon]] area, particularly in the provinces of [[Bulacan]], [[Pampanga]], and [[Zambales]]. He added that the [[Philippine Arena]] in the [[Municipalities of the Philippines|municipality]] of [[Bocaue, Bulacan|Bocaue]] in Bulacan province would "most likely" be used in the Games.<ref name="Location TBA">{{Cite web |url=https://ph.yahoo.com/news/philippines-turn-still-hosting-2019-sea-games-despite-miscommunication-062724799.html |title=Philippines does about-turn; still hosting 2019 SEA Games despite 'miscommunication' |last=Nigel Chin |date=August 18, 2017 |publisher=[[Yahoo!

===Handover ceremony===
During the closing ceremony of the 2017 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, the symbolic SEA Games Federation council flag was handed over by outgoing Malaysian Olympic Committee president HRH Tunku Tan Sri [[Tunku Imran|Imran]] to then-Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco, who in turn passed the flag to then-Foreign Affairs Secretary [[Alan Peter Cayetano]], who will be the Chairman of organizing committee for 2019 games.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/29/17/no-grand-performance-from-ph-at-sea-games-closing-ceremony|title=No grand performance from PH at SEA Games' closing ceremony|last=Naredo|first=Camille B.|date=August 29, 2017|work=ABS-CBN News|access-date=March 22, 2018}}</ref>

In contrast of other closing ceremonies held throughout the SEA Games, only a discrete video promoting tourism in the Philippines was presented instead of a grand presentation for the next host country. One of the reasons given by the Philippine Olympic Committee is the cost of holding a handover ceremony, at {{Philippine peso|8 billion}}. Another reason is to give focus on the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the [[Federation of Malaya|Malaysian federation]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/30/17/why-poc-cancelled-ph-performance-at-sea-games-closing|title=Why POC cancelled PH performance at SEA Games closing|date=August 30, 2017|work=ABS-CBN News|access-date=March 22, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2017/08/19/philippines-to-host-2019-games-but-not-in-manila/ |title=Philippines to host 2019 games but not in Manila |date=August 19, 2017 |website=[[The Star (Malaysia)|The Star]] |access-date=March 22, 2018}}</ref>

==Development and preparations==
[[File:Philippine Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano 2018.jpg|100px|thumb|[[Alan Peter Cayetano]] served as chairman of the organizing committee of the Games.]]
Unlike the [[2005 SEA Games|2005 games]], the 2019 SEA Games adopted a different organizing structure for the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC). According to Philippine Sports Commission chairman William Ramirez, Foreign Affairs Secretary (later House Speaker) [[Alan Peter Cayetano]] would be appointed as the organizing committee chairman, instead of the [[Philippine Olympic Committee]] president who presumed the role in 2005.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.philstar.com/sports/2017/10/10/1747262/cayetano-call-shots-2019-seag/ |title=Cayetano to call shots for 2019 SEAG |last=Cordero |first=Abac |date=October 10, 2017 |work=The Philippine Star|access-date=March 22, 2018}}</ref> Senator [[Migz Zubiri]] was initially the head of the organizing committee before being replaced by Cayetano.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/sports/2017/08/18/sea-games-2019-hosting-still-559141 |title=Sea Games 2019 hosting still on |date=August 18, 2017 |access-date=August 18, 2017 |work=SunStar Davao}}</ref>

At least three meetings were held for the preparation of the games. The first meeting was held in Shangri-la Hotel at the Fort on May 16 and 17, 2018.

Officials of National Sports Associations of the Philippines were designated as competition managers and were tasked to deal with local arrangements concerning their sport including logistics, venues and equipment.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Giongco |first1=Nick |title=POC sets stage for smooth Sea Games staging |url=https://sports.mb.com.ph/2018/11/09/poc-sets-stage-for-smooth-sea-games-staging/ |access-date=November 12, 2018 |work=Manila Bulletin|date=November 9, 2018}}</ref>

===Costs===
The budget for the games is at least {{Philippine peso|7.5 billion}} (US$147 million as of July 31, 2019). {{Philippine peso|6 billion}}(US$118 million) were provided by the government while the rest were secured by PHISGOC from sponsorship agreements. The government funds were allocated to the Philippine Sports Commission with {{Philippine peso|5 billion}}(US$98 million) from the funds approved by the [[Philippine Congress]] and the remainder derived from augmentation fund approved by then-President Rodrigo Duterte.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Porcalla |first1=Delon |title=P6-billion budget for SEA Games complied with DBM requirements |url=https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2019/07/22/1936806/p6-billion-budget-sea-games-complied-dbm-requirements |access-date=July 27, 2019 |work=The Philippine Star|date=July 22, 2019}}</ref> Duterte approved the additional funds by May 2019.<ref>{{cite news |work=Philippine News Agency|last1=Malanum |first1=Jean |title=PRRD approves P1-B additional funding for SEA Games |url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1069373 |access-date=July 27, 2019 |date=May 9, 2019}}</ref>

===Ticketing===
The organizers entered negotiations with [[SM Group|SM Tickets]] for ticketing systems.

===Medals===
The official medals for the 2019 Southeast Asian Games were designed by Filipino metal sculptor Daniel dela Cruz, who also designed the SEA Games torch, incorporating elements inspired by the Philippines. On the medal's front, above the SEA Games logo is a sail or "layag" typically used by Filipino boats. Encircling the logo are sea waves signifying the Philippine archipelago. At the back is a rendering of the sports facilities at the New Clark City, site of the SEA Games, which was incorporated using high density etching. Symbols of the various sports are embedded using laser etching.<ref name="auto6">{{cite news |title=SEA Games 2019 medals designed by Filipino artist Daniel dela Cruz unveiled |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/othersports/715634/sea-games-2019-medals-designed-by-filipino-artist-daniel-dela-cruz-unveiled/story/ |access-date=November 16, 2019 |work=GMA News|date=November 16, 2019}}</ref><ref name="medalsuniform">{{cite news |last1=Go |first1=Beatrice |title=2019 SEA Games medals, uniforms showcase Filipino art |url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/specials/sea-games/235238-medals-uniforms-filipino-art-2019 |access-date=July 14, 2019 |work=Rappler|date=July 12, 2019}}</ref>

The gold medal is made of 24-karat [[Gold (element)|gold]] plated material and its wave design in front is made of [[rhodium]] via bi-plating. The bronze medal was made "rose gold" in color instead of the traditional brown hue. The ribbon used to hold the medal features a double-sided design; one side features the colors associated with the Southeast Asian Games and the other is decorated with traditional Filipino weave patterns.<ref name="auto6"/> They were accompanied by a wooden carrying box, while medalists also received flower bouquets, Pami and Philippine Airlines aircraft [[stuffed toys]].
