The event will also include the Asian Games Centennial Festival,.
 
The events should have taken place on Boracay Island in the last week of November but were postponed due to the devastation and tragedy caused by Typhoon Haiyan which killed more than 5,000 people. 

The OCA now plans to hold the event in Manila, which it claims is a  fitting location as it was the host city for the first recognised international multi-sport event in Asia, the first Far Eastern Championship Games in 1913.
