Rumors circulated that the games will be possibly cancelled due to the economic impact of the [[2026 Iran war]] including increasing oil prices and fare hikes as per declared by President [[Bongbong Marcos]] on March 24. The organization and its Provincial Government have not yet confirmed this cancellation. To solve this, Marcos signed the Republic Act 12316, known as to temporarily suspend or reduce excise taxes on petroleum products in response to surging global oil prices due to the ongoing conflict in Iran until December 31, 2028. |
