In your opinion, what sport should Filipinos concentrate on to excel in world competitions?

Basketball is the most popular sport in the Philippines. Some decades ago, the country was considered one of the heavyweights in this sport. However, advances in other countries have overtaken the Philippines’ once lofty stature in this sport. Surely, there are other sports where the Philippines can also be known for, aside from hoops.

    It will have to be a sport where size does not make a lot of difference.
    Filipinos will never be large people, they must work on skill sports where height and weight is not a requirement.

    Boxing, golf, table tennis, maybe swimming or diving, gymnastics.

    Taekwondo teams in the Philippines have been improving over the years. Maybe they can excel soon in the olympics, you never know

    I asked a similar question before too.
    I think that they should concentrate more on soccer.
    You have no idea, it’s getting big.

    I used to be on a soccer team, next week
    all teams from all over the Philippines
    are heading to Alabang I think is where it’s called
    to go to the Alaska Cup.

    Girls and boys are definitely very fierce in this competition,
    they’re very skilled. We got killed last time we were there,
    but we’re getting better and that’s why I think they should push through with this sport.

    =D
