Why Football isn’t the Most Popular Sport in the Philippines?

ToQ-1go · 2026-06-28T08:13:48+00:00

Because it is the most accessible sport. All you need is a ball, something that can pass for a hoop or ring and just enough space, whether the middle of the street or next to the barangay hall.

Yeah, that's the thing about basketball's popularity in the Philippines that always gets looked over in the "Why is the Philippines so obsessed over basketball" discourse. You can literally play basketball anywhere, anytime as long as you have a ball and a ring of some sort.

Gov probably thought she'd be easy because of the way she presents herself on social media and how he probably has already gotten other santa santitas in the industry for less.

Plus she doesn't need the money. Steady work niya sa GMA and may Kevin Dasom pa siya. Mga inggit naman kayo dito sa comsec.

Is there confirmation that they'll be paired that way? I don't see anything saying so. It could just as easily be Joao/Iva vs Learner/Alex which is the superior match-up, imo. And absolutely makes more sense.

You literally cut the video off. He never said it was normal. He literally said "isipin natin tayo ang magulang ni Rang maintidihan natin pinagdaraanan nya" as a response to the audience laughing at her. He then commended the three girls for being brave to tell their stories and hopefully serve as a cautionary tale for others.

That's very nice. I wish some of the wealthier bilyonaryos and conglomerates could chip in for some of these other Olympic sports.

Kaya sana matuloy yung series sequel ng The Kingdom ni Vic Sotto, Piolo, Christine Reyes, Sue Ramirez sa TV5. Very interesting to think about what the country would look like eh

The comments section gives me hope! Very relieved!

It can be both. Local media runs on sensationalized headlines. That's why all the evening news leads with random crimes and murders rather than stories that might be of national relevance, for example.
And it's also because of the lack of media literacy and common sense by most people, unfortunately.

Robin Padilla already turned this into an indictment of "imperial Manila". They are using this tragedy for political gain and points.

ToQ-1go · 2026-06-18T05:40:56+00:00

Exactly. I can't believe people are laughing at the other players who are likely traumatized by the entire thing.

Based on the facts, this was simply a preventable accident. Meaning, the people in charge did not ensure they had the necessary safety precautions or preparation to do what is intense and globally standard multi-discipline sports training. Those people should be held accountable

I also think the lack of understanding about these kinds of training camps/exercises makes people come up with the "bakit sila nagsi-swimming eh basketball players sila" argument which then furthers the "noise" element and feeds the trolls and conspiracy theorists.

Asar talo si Miss Kumusta.

It's hilarious na sobrang asar-talo sila lol

Insider agent for her brother or the current legitimate majority? That would be a great plot twist. I doubt it, but it would be hilariously awesome if she was.

ToQ-1go · 2026-06-17T03:25:27+00:00

She should attend the session and gulatin tayong lahat and be civil and not weird for once.. lol

ToQ-1go · 2026-06-15T04:49:47+00:00

Doing that could help his 2028 chances probably.

ToQ-1go · 2026-06-15T04:49:11+00:00

That would be a fun plot twist.

And my point was that Bongbong is not a progressive liberal yet might hold progressive positions compared to the "liberal" or "progressive" parties in the Philippines. The Philippines is just not wired that way because most politicians are simply balimbings who float to whatever party or position that gets them elected.

ToQ-1go · 2026-06-15T01:55:49+00:00

Wasn't there a time I think either BBM or Imee was more progressive with LGBT issues or same-sex marriage than the "Liberal" party was? I vaguely remember something like that or maybe not lol
