Whenever my life feels like it’s crashing and burning, I just look at the latest #SEAGamesFail and I feel instantly blessed.

the #SEAGamesfail is a disservice not only to the international community but to the filipino people who have been waiting for direct solutions for existing problems. we’re seeing 6 billion pesos worth of corruption from an administration that cares for no one but themselves.

This is how a “justified” million dollar cauldron looks like. 5 days left and still unfinished. Let us have our taxes back! #SEAGamesfail #WeWaitAsOne pic.twitter.com/rUY0PR6bTI

Can I just say that I’m embarrassed as a Filipino right now in regards to SEA Games hosted by my country:
-Really ugly logo
-Super mediocre cauldron
-Lack of care for our athlete visitors
-and just dumb organizationI’m sorry world, for my country.#SEAGames2019 #SEAGamesFail pic.twitter.com/RYl4SRIUwJ

Yet, not all tweets are negative. Like this one that shows the new Rizal Memorial Stadium.
RIZAL MEMORIAL STADIUM is ready for the #SEAGames2019! Yey! Where you at haters?! #SEAGamesfail? lol pic.twitter.com/Wvx0gC9NT8

And this one too.
Despite the #SEAGamesfail there’s a gem of a place here in the south that’s 101% ready for the underwater hockey event of the SEA Games! It converted its 10-lane Olympic pool to a salt water pool for this specific sport. pic.twitter.com/n5CdpTwQak
