There were numerous concerns and controversies about the 2019 SEA Games, which was hosted in the Philippines.
Several reports on alleged mishaps in the days leading up to the official opening of the games were found to be misleading or false. The reports were slammed as "fake news" by critics of these reports, and the Congress of the Philippines vowed to summon the authors and propagators of these reports after the event. [56] Some such news was critical of the Games, and some was in support of PHISGOC.
Malaysian gymnast Izzah Amzan scored identical score (15.200) with gold medalist Koi Sie Yan in the ribbon apparatus event on December 7, but Amzan was awarded a silver medal due to the judges deeming she performed a less difficult routine following tiebreaker rules set by the International Gymnastics Federation. The two gymnast were named joint gold medalists but this was revoked a day later which led to Malaysia filing a protest. The Philippines SEA Games Organising Committee (PHISGOC) has agreed to reinstate the ribbon event gold medal to Malaysian rhythmic gymnast Izzah Amzan after studying the technical regulations for the Games.

Nagreklamo ang Philippine women's football team nang ipakain daw sa kanila ang almusal ng mga SEA Games organizers ang kikiam, kanin at itlog. Reklamo ng mga team, hindi raw mabuti sa kalusugan ng almusal na ito dahil kulang sa nutrition. Nagtrending nga sa social media ang kikiam, kasama ang salita "Nakakahiya" at "#SEAGames2019fail".
