The 30th Southeast Asian Games marks the fourth time that the Philippines had played host, having previously staged the meet back in 1981, 1991, and 2005. This edition oversaw the first major decentralization in the Games' history, with competition venues spread in 23 cities across the country, divided into 4 clusters, such as in Metro Manila, Clark, Subic/Olongapo, and a fourth cluster consisting of standalone venues, all of which are located on the island of Luzon.
Held from 30 November to 11 December 2019, this edition is most notable for having the highest number of sports in the history of the SEA Games, at a record 56 medal sports in 63 disciplines, which include the debuts for sambo, ju-jitsu, kurash, duathlon, surfing, 3x3 basketball, modern pentathlon (not contested under the Olympic format), underwater hockey, eSports, obstacle course racing, breaking (as part of the dancesport competitions), skateboarding, and beach handball.
The hosting rights were originally attributed to Brunei in 2012, but days before the 2015 SEA Games in Singapore, the country pulled out due to financial and logistical reasons. Following Brunei's withdrawal, the Philippines agreed to step up as hosts on 10 July 2015.
Its honors were left uncertain on 21 July 2017, when the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) withdrew its support for the country's hosting of the 2019 Games, citing that the government decided to reallocate funds to rehabilitating Marawi, which was left besieged after being occupied by ISIS supporters.
But the tide turns itself on 16 August 2017 - just a few days prior to the opening of that year's SEA Games in Malaysia, when the Philippines, through the then-POC president Peping Cojuangco, confirmed that the country would be hosting the event after appealing into then-President Rodrigo Duterte for reconsideration; Cojuangco stated that the games would be held across the Central Luzon area, particularly in the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, and Zambales.
The Philippines emerged at the top of the medal tally at the end of the Games, having won 387 medals - 149 golds, 117 silvers and 121 bronzes - to surpass its own medal count record set in its last hosting in 2005. They were followed by Vietnam at second with 98 golds, and Thailand at third with 92 - although they are second in the overall count with 318.
The Games were deemed generally successful with the country's hosting being lauded by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) for its facilities and hospitality, but aside all the short preparation time the Philippines had to take, it was rocked by a series of controversies, ranging from corruption allegations, ballooning costs, marketing and logistics problems, misinformation, and poor treatment of delegates.
The Philippines' hosting of the 2019 SEA Games is tagged and seen as a "stepping stone" towards a bid to host the Asian Games; the country had vied for the 2030 edition, but it was deemed unable to submit the bid by the deadline, and the event was ultimately given to Doha, Qatar in December 2020.
