The 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games will serve as a way for national sports associations (NSAs) to justify future budget requests from the government. Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chair Richard Bachmann said on Tuesday that with the number of NSAs ballooning to 70, the government's lead agency for sports will adopt a matrix to determine the percentage of distribution of financial assistance. 'How do you allocate the budget for all these sports? During 2018 and 2019, we only had 40 NSAs. Right now we have 70 and the budget is basically the same,'' said Bachmann during the Philippine Sportswriters Association forum at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
