MANILA - Soccer players sleeping on the floor or stranded at the airport, transport hiccups and handwritten fixture lists, not enough drinking water and food unfit for athletes - the Philippines’ hosting of the Southeast Asian Games is off to a chaotic start.
Coaches from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar have all vented their frustration over issues ranging from traffic snarl-ups and bland food to poor training sites and drivers dropping them off at the wrong hotels. “Unfortunately, we were the recipients of bad organization”, Felix Dalmas, coach of the Cambodian soccer team, told Reuters.Their hotel issued a statement saying the team had shown up before the standard check-in time.
Their Vietnamese rivals complained that their meals were too small and that their hotel had told them to get written authorization from organizers if they wanted bigger portions. Salvador Panelo, spokesman for Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, apologized for “unintentional inconvenience suffered by our athlete-guests” and said Duterte “will not offer any excuses”.
the name of the chairman of the organizing committee and Duterte's former running mate is ALAN PETER CAYETANO
