If we had a choice, we would not have hosted this game, an expensive exercise for a poor country like ours.  But we are part of the region and we are obligated to contribute our share to Southeast Asian solidarity.  If Vietnam, with its long history of wars and rebellion, hosted the last SEA games with flying colors, bakit naman hindi tayo?
