Preparations

Philippine Sports Commission head Ramon Fernandez was appointed as the chef de mission for the Philippine delegation for the 2021 Southeast Asian Games.[4] Preparations for the biannual tournament has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, which also led to the cancellation of the 2020 ASEAN Para Games which was supposed to be hosted by the country.

The Philippines send 656 athletes competing in 39 sports for the 2021 Southeast Asian Games. The country compete in all sports except xiangqi.[5] The contingent was trimmed down from 627 athletes due to budgetary constraints.[6] The final delegation was expanded again. The final delegation consists of 981 people, among them are 641 athletes competing in 38 sports, 318 officials and 18 support staff members.[7][8]

The PSC initially planned to regain supervision over the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex and PhilSports Complex, which were used as quarantine facilities for COVID-19 patients. so it could be used by athletes set to represent the country at the 2021 SEA Games as training venues by April 15, 2021. However, due to the re-imposition of enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) measures in the Greater Manila Area, such plans were scrapped and the country's national sports associations are tasked to set up their own training bubble elsewhere, where ECQ is not in place.[9] The ongoing training of taekwondo and boxers at the Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba was also modified to individual workouts from face-to-face training for the entire duration of the ECQ.[10]

Ernest John Obiena was designated as the delegation's flag bearer for the opening ceremony.[11][12]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

On April 7, 2021, the Philippine Olympic Committee pledged that all athletes who will participate in the games would be given COVID-19 vaccines after securing a $40,000 grant from the Olympic Council of Asia.[13] Al Panlilio was also tasked to head the vaccination program of the Philippine delegation for the 2021 SEA Games.[14]

Athletes who tested positive for COVID-19 could be still replaced prior to the start of the games. This does not apply to the football teams which were allowed to include extra players.[15]

At least three athletes tested positive for COVID-19.[16] This include swimmer Luke Gebbie, national record holder for the 100-meter freestyle, who was rendered unable to compete.[17]
