MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (Phisgoc) has assured Filipinos that it is prepared to host the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games which will be held from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11.
“The Organizing Committee remains focused on ensuring the success of the Philippine hosting of the 30th SEA Games, and assures the public that all government regulations have been observed in this great endeavor,” Phisgoc said in a statement on Thursday.
Phisgoc also reiterated that it is willing to “participate in any form of investigation on the 30th SEA Games, after its conclusion on December 12.”
Phisgoc also added that the spread of fake news on the committee’s hosting of the SEA Games should also be investigated.
“We agree that during the inquiry, we should be investigating too the proliferation of fake news a few days before the opening ceremony, which has put the organizing committee, the Games, and the country in a bad light,” Phisgoc said.
“Presidential Spokesperson would agree with this as he himself was a victim of Fake News,” it added.
Phisgoc also asked Filipinos to cheer for the country’s athletes who will compete in the games.
