<\/p>\n

Andanar commended PHISGOC and volunteers for their hard work to ensure that the Philippines\u2019 hosting would be \u201cexemplary\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would have not been possible, if not for the hard work done by PHISGOC, which has translated into the Games successes. Hence, we extend our deepest gratitude to the PHISGOC and also to all the volunteers that have made our hosting of the 30th SEA Games truly exemplary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

PHISGOC, chaired by House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, earlier earned criticisms for logistical issues that had emerged prior to the formal opening of the SEA Games on November 30.<\/p>\n

Duterte apologized over the alleged SEA Games blunders, and vowed to conduct an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

The President, however, expressed confidence that Cayetano was not involved in corrupt activities, stressing that PHISGOC merely committed \u201cunintentional\u201d mistakes.<\/p>\n

Despite these, Panelo said \u201chigh emotions, the broken records, the blood, sweat and tears of our athletes and their coaches\u201d are worth remembering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
