We are having some difficulty in the deployment of volunteers for NCR events due to the much less number of volunteers required by the committees and sports associations compared to the previously required number. But our team is currently devising ways to accommodate the remaining volunteers.

We might be needing additional support groups for each venue to serve as food handlers, assistants, and as subsitutes in case some volunteers fail to appear in the venues.

Also, if some of you can visit our office, you can assist our teams in the printing of IDs and preparation of kits. Call us at 781-2323 781-1613 loc 118 and look for Liza.

Please take note that we are not accepting new applicants anymore. We will only entertain those who have submitted their applications.

In the Opening Ceremonies on November 27 at the Luneta, we encourage youth organizations to be there to watch this historical event. We will be setting up a booth for NYC and everyone is welcomed to go there. Program starts @ 5PM but the NYC booth will be open as early as 1PM.

Groups can bring streamers to be identified and members can wear their respective organization shirts. The opening ceremonies committee is working to beat the world record for the most number of crowd in a sports gathering. So be there and be counted.

FULL POINT By Nimrod Quiñones

I am writing this column just a few hours before Cebu officially opens its hosting of six events for the 23rd Southeast Asian Games. While the thrill of a grand opening is building up behind me here at the Cebu City Sports Center, I'd like to point out some good things that might not get much chance to see print in the next few days.

With the triumphs and defeats of athletes about to take centerstage, the very people, who have helped make all of this happen might, might be forgotten for good.

I am referring to the volunteers, who are going out of their way to offer their services and even material belongings like vehicles as their share in helping ensure the success of the 23rd SEA Games in Cebu.

These volunteers come from all ages and all shapes and sizes and are sharing their time and talent.

There are even those who just stepped forward and asked what they can do to help. There are many similar stories that can fill volumes, so this early, I'd like to express my personal thanks to all of them as a member of the Cebu organizing committee.

Being a volunteer for the SEA Games myself, I know how it feels to rush from one place to another just to get things done. In fact, I have to split my time to attend to my duties and head of the Press and Publicity Committee and as managing editor of The FREEMAN for the duration of the SEA Games. How I will do that will be something I must also figure out, but it is definitely doable.

Many others here also have their own work and their own lives to live. Some have their businesses to run, but they have given their extra time for the SEA Games and for Cebu.

The past several months, I came to know many people who have also been working to make the SEA Games happen and I would say that it is an honor to be among such hardworking people.

The SEA Games has just started and there are still many things that ought to be done until this closes on December 5. Many others may not have been officially accredited as volunteers, but that does not mean you are not supposed to be helpful to our visitors from around the country and abroad.

Let's do it for our country! Let's do it for Cebu!

This only shows the great Filipino spirit of volunteering for something that will make our country better... I only hope that it also translates to our everyday endeavor.

How r u guys?
Well, the opening ceremony was a success!
Nakikita ko yung bang volunteer na naglilipit ng mga kalat sa mga mamayan! Pero hindi ako nagkalat...Tinatapon ko ang basura ko basurahan...Para at least kahit papaano nakatulong ako...

Sayang talaga.. pero happy na ako na nanalo ang Pilipinas sa ginaganap na SEA Games.... Hi Febbie... miss you na... down pa rin website natin.. hopefully bukas ok na sya .. New layout.
