Statistically, the 23rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games constitute the biggest sporting event in the region, next to the Asian Games. Being the most anticipated event in Southeast Asia, the 2005 SEA Games will be hosted by the Philippines on November 27.

For the third time, the Pearl of the Orient Seas is hosting the most significant bi-annually multi-sport event in the region. This move is seen as an important collaborative step towards its closest neighbours.

The Games are also considered both a spectacular event and a valuable opportunity for athletes to gain competition experience and preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games. The South East Asian games were purposely created to strengthen friendship, solidarity and understanding among neighboring countries in the region.

This year’s Games are a number of entertaining regional multi-sport events which feature not only many well-known Olympic disciplines, but also traditional games unique to the locality. Two traditional Southeast Asian sports were included at the 2005 SEA Games-sepaktakraw and wushu.

For many years now, the SEA Games is deemed as a solid foundation where Asian people meet as one in a friendly competition as such.

The time has come once again to celebrate the games that brought every nation in the South East Asian region with one goal: To defy the greatest challenge and to contend as a true athlete in honor of our nation.
