(SPOT.ph) The Philippines is walking away from the 2019 Southeast Asian Games as the overall champion—with 149 gold, 117 silver, and 119 bronze medals as of writing—but more than just a boatload of podium finishes, we've also got more than enough history-making, adrenaline-filled, and life-changing moments to tell our grandkids about. Plus, the closing ceremony slated for today, December 11, at the New Clark City Athletics Stadium, will most likely add more epic moments to the list.Â
The 30th run of the games had a rocky start—there are still questions worth asking—but we round up a few of the amazing moments that happened during the meet. From the funniest reactions, the wildest moments, and amazing feats, check out just some of the best things that happened during the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games below:
