Photos Of SEA Games Cauldrons Used In Other Countries

SEA GAMES – Here are the photos of cauldrons used in other countries for the SEA Games.

Following a previous article, Senator Franklin Drilon questioned the price of the stadium cauldron for the upcoming Southeast Asian (SEA) Games 2019. The design and the contraction of the cauldron costs P50 million.

The giant “kaldero” will be used for the torch lighting ceremony. He said the budget for that controversial multi-million cauldron could be used to build 50 classrooms. “Is that reasonable? Is that a correct prioritization? Each classroom will cost P1 million and just for the kaldero, which should be used only once, we will spend P50 million,” he said.
