Cynthia Carrion Norton, who serves as both a POC executive board member and president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines, is confident that the Philippines could replicate its most recent SEA Games feat in the future. Filipino athletes hauled a total of 387 medals, including 149 golds – the most out of the 11 nations that competed in 56 sports over 500 events. It is likewise the highest output in the event's 60-year history, beating the Philippines' previous best finish in the 2005 edition when it hauled in 112 gold medals.
