Boasting homecourt advantage from venues ranging from La Union to Laguna, the Philippines stages the biggest SEA Games in history with 56 sports and 530 events across 4 main clusters – Clark, Subic, Metro Manila and Southern Luzon.
Malaysia looks to defend its overall crown as the 2017 host amassed 323 medals with 145 golds in the last edition.
But the Philippines, fielding around 1,100 athletes for the biennial meet, aims to leapfrog from its sixth-place finish of 121 medals with 24 golds two years ago.
