31st SEA Games: Football[M]Group Stage - EP 3 4:55 PM - 7:00 PMG Season 1, Episode 3 | Cambodia vs Singapore (Live) Singapore takes on Cambodia in its third group stage match of the Games. CAM 0 - 1 SIN

Officially from 30 Nov to 11 Dec 2019. Not a good 2019 for SEA GAMES, both for the Philippine, who is the organizer, while SG has only bad news from the start. Started with the outbreak of Polio in Philippine so near to departure and athletes having to take booster shots before leaving SG. Then the chaos and negative news regarding the administration and logistics of the host country regarding transport, hotel, food when the football teams arrived. Opening sports for SG almost gone case. With the U22 lions drawing Laos and losing to Indonesia with no goals so far, having to beat both SEA GAMES power house Thailand and Vietnam is almost like a dream in the day. Looks like early go early come back for the footballers. Next we have the water polo team making history, losing their first SEA GAMES match in 54 years, to the Indonesia. This also means after 27 SEA GAMES Gold medals back to back, this year the water polo team comes home no gold. Hopefully, with the rest of the teams starting the matches tomorrow onward, some good news may fly home soon. Best wishes to all our SG Athletes who have prepared hard for this competition, do your best, and do us proud. Remember, "no human is limited", and together with your gifted talent, hard work and determination, you shall be rewarded. If not now, it will someday be!!!

Ebola virus strain found in Philippine swine http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp.../395583/1/.html A strain of the Ebola virus has been found in pigs at a farm north of the Philippine capital Manila MANILA: A strain of the Ebola virus has been found in pigs at a farm north of the Philippine capital Manila, the country's top agriculture official said Thursday. The Ebola-Reston strain, however, was believed to have affected only domestic livestock and had so far not jumped between species, said Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap. This was the first Ebola case in swine, and the government was closely working with the World Health Organisation and the World Organisation of Animal Health in carrying out further tests, Yap said. "This is the first time Ebola has been detected in pigs, but this is not a human health issue, but an animal health problem," Yap told local radio. "There is no evidence that this could jump to humans," he said, adding that Ebola-Reston was different from three other African strains that cause deadly haemorrhagic fever, which has led to hundreds of human deaths in Africa. Yap said the farm, on the main island of Luzon, was being closely monitored. Farm hands and butchers had been tested, but results have so far come back negative, he said. Other pigs on the farm were not infected, while old stocks of meat had been burned as a precaution, he said. Yap reminded the public to buy pork only from markets inspected by agricultural officials and to cook the meat thoroughly. This was not the first time that the Ebola-Reston strain was found in the Philippines, Yap said. Fifteen years ago, several Filipinos were infected by the virus that apparently jumped from local monkeys. Only one of them developed a cold, that later went away, Yap said.
