The said gold medal should have been fought by a Filipino boxer against a Thai boxer, but the latter was found positive in the doping tests. The gold medal was, at first, given to the Philippines, but after a few days, the SEAG Organizing Committee declared that there will be no gold and silver medalists for the said event in boxing because there was no battle fought. 2009-08-01 Philippine sports also mourn ex-President Aquino's demise https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/content/168819/philippine-sports-also-mourn-ex-president-aquino-s-demise/story/ 2025-12-20 GMA News Online en Main official host television broadcasting CountryOfficial broadcastersTelevision broadcastBRU 1991Radio Television BruneiRTB 5 RTB 8INA 1991Televisi Republik IndonesiaTVRIMAL 1991Radio Televisyen MalaysiaRTM TV1PHI 1991ABS-CBN People's Television Network Radio Philippines Network Intercontinental Broadcasting CorporationABS-CBN 2 PTV 4 New Vision 9 Islands TV 13SGP 1991Singapore Broadcasting CorporationSBC 12THA 1991Television Pool of ThailandVIE 1991Vietnam TelevisionVTV1 See also 2005 SEA Games 2019 SEA Games References External links History of the SEA Games 1991 Southeast Asian Games medal table http://www.ocasia.org/game/MWinner.aspx?CntbEpEabMQ13iQyS5RNSfIeXT1sBvVt Olympic Council of Asia 27 October 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161028023209/http://www.ocasia.org/game/MWinner.aspx?CntbEpEabMQ13iQyS5RNSfIeXT1sBvVt 28 October 2016 dead Southeast Asian GamesManila Kuala Lumpur Singapore XVI Southeast Asian Games (1991) Category:SEA Games by year Category:1991 in multi-sport events Southeast Asian Games, 1991 Southeast Asian Games Category:Sports competitions in Manila Category:Multi-sport events in the Philippines Southeast Asian Games Category:20th century in Manila
