Southeast Asian Games

The Philippines hosted the 2005 Southeast Asian Games under the IOC country code PHI. This was the third time the country hosted the biennial meet. Team Philippines earned 113 golds placing them 1st overall in the medal tally, 26 golds ahead of Thailand. This is the most gold medals the country has won in the competition to date. The chief of mission to the games was William Ramirez. At the opening ceremony, Team Philippines was accompanied by Miss International 2005, Precious Lara Quigaman, current WBC Lightweight Champion, Manny Pacquiao and local celebrity, Angel Locsin.

Sports and Athlete Development

To ensure proper and intensive training, most of the athletes were sent to China for a five-month training process. Innovations in terms of acquisition of new facilities and proper budget allocation were the main concerns of the Philippine Sports Commission in cooperation with the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).

The POC awarded all medalists cash incentives.

There are two soundtracks that served as inspirational songs to Team Philippines:

  • "Posible" - composed and sang by Rivermaya, a local band in the Philippines. This was the official theme song of Team Philippines commissioned by Globe Telecom.
  • "Pinoy Ako" - composed and sang by Orange and Lemons, a local band in the Philippines. Although it was played in almost all competition venues in the SEA Games, it was the unofficial theme song of Team Philippines because of its nationalistic theme.
