Anywhere you go in the Philippines, even in the most remote mountainous areas, you can find a basketball court. It is very evident that Filipinos love the basketball so much that many people won’t go to work during the NBA’s championship match. It is the most known sports in the Philippines.
Basketball was brought to the Philippines by the Americans during their colonial period and was first introduced to the Philippines public school system in 1910 as a women’s sport, but it was opposed by the conservative Catholic Church as they view the sport’s uniform as inappropriate. In 1910, the first men’s national team was organized and won the first Far Eastern Championship Games in 1913.
When the Philippines were recognized by the United States as an independent Republic in 1946, it created its own national team and competed in various international events. It garnered the 3rd place in the 1954 FIBA World Championship and dominated the Asian Games until 1962.
There are also professional, amateur and collegiate leagues in the Philippines, which were aired on the Philippines major media outlets. Even in the cities and barangays, you can find local tournaments during fiestas; schools conduct district wide, division wide, regional and national sports competition, which includes basketball as one of the major events. The Filipinos’ love of the basketball goes beyond the sports; it became their way of life.
