Criticism

The Philippines, which is the defending champion of the 2005 edition, feared that they might not be able to retain their performace since way back in 2005. Thailand accused them of rigging the result of some sports to accumulate enough medals and lead the race tally in that year. Thailand, who always want to be on top, was guilty in accusing the Philippines without concrete evidences. They admitted that they acted like a child.
