MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Philippine SEA Games Organizing Committee chairman and House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano expressed hope that the Philippines will top this year’s Southeast Asian Games, which the country is hosting.<\/p>\n

“Nagdadasal kami<\/em>\u00a0(We’re praying). We’re hoping and giving our support\u00a0na mag<\/em>\u00a0number one\u00a0ang Pilipinas<\/em>\u00a0(that Philippines will end up on top),” he said on Wednesday night during the Team Philippines Send-Off ng Bayan event at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Philippines clinched the overall championship of the biennial meet in 2005, the last time the country hosted the games.<\/p>\n

With the Philippines hosting the SEA Games again from November 30-December 11, clinching another overall title is not far-fetched.<\/p>\n

In fact, a 220-gold medal haul for the Philippine team was projected.<\/p>\n

Asked about his reaction to the forecast, Cayetano was mum about his own projection for the team.<\/p>\n

“I’d rather not [talk about it] as chairman\u00a0kasi nga<\/em>\u00a0we have to make sure\u00a0[na]<\/em>\u00a0fair\u00a0sa lahat<\/em>. POC (Philippine Olympic Committee)\u00a0na ang mag<\/em>-take\u00a0ng<\/em>\u00a0predictions,” Cayetano said.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
