Baseball in the Philippines 

As a mom of an 11 year kid in the Philippines with overflowing passion for the sport and MLB dreams, this docu made my hair stand up. I am praying the timing is right and my son's dreams come true. Thank you for the video.

As a kid in the 90s i wanna learn and play this game but basketball took over, and I'm glad to hear it's coming back to the Philippines

0:45 correction summer here in the Philippines is between march and may, rainy season here is june and july at its peak where its summer in the northern hemisphere. "summers here in SEA region is wet" is true in southern part of SEA like Indonesia, but the northern parts like the Philippines and Mainland SEA is humid during march to may, reaching 34-40 degress celsius. about baseball here in the Philippines, if we have a domestic league, it will began at November and ends in May where it rain less and I suggests that it have a pro/rel system.

I love baseball! I was born in the Philippines and moved to the US in my early 20s. But I played baseball since elementary, playing the game with shared to no equipment and sometimes bare-foot. It was very organic but it was fun. It's where I developed my love of baseball. Today, I go to the game 6-8 times a year to see the Dodgers with my daughters and I have never missed any of the 162 games played every season on tv live or encore.

The real reason why Baseball in the Philippines was fade away or vanish its because the FAILURE of DepEd to introduce and promulgate the sport into the SCHOOLS and various COMMUNITIES. Games and Amusement Board has also FAILED in the promulgation of baseball. With the POOR LEADERSHIP SKILLS and CORRUPTION of José "Peping" Sumulong Cojuangco Jr. to make Baseball popular just like the old times. HE did NOTHING in the sport of BASEBALL. No Major improvements or developments. The current Chairman of Games and Amusement Board (GAB) Abraham Kahlil Mitra HAS DONE NOTHING the the sport of BASEBALL. These public officials had done nothing and only do corruption. Second I want to highlight is NO MAJOR EXPOSURE of Baseball in the PHILIPPINE MEDIA. With the CORRUPT MEDIA like ABS-CBN , TV5 and ONE SPORT. Those corrupt media FAILED to BROADCAST, MARKET and POPULARIZE the sport of BASEBALL. GMA NETWORK, and PTV (People's Television Network) did nothing about baseball. They did not even BROADCAST one season of Professional Baseball. The Philippine Media has FAILED and WILL ALWAYS BEEN FAILURE. Unlike in Japan, South Korea or Taiwan were Major Companies helps to promulgate Baseball and make it popular. In the Philippines, giant companies like SM Supermalls, Robinson, Ayala, Corporation, Smart Communication and others DID NOT CONTRIBUTE a single thing nor make a major move to make baseball popular. These major companies only care about their money, they don't like to help and contribute to the community of baseball here in the Philippines. The Philippine Government have FAILED in Developing INDOOR BASEBALL STADIUMS / BASEBALL PARKS. Unlike in Japan. USA, South Korea or Canada. They have good quality Baseball Stadiums. The country of Philippines has NONE. The Philippines did not priorities BASEBALL, so they don't like to spend money in the development of baseball in the country. If the 15 BILLION PESO that was being CORRUPTED BY THE PHILHEALTH OFFICIALS was CONVERTED IN TO A BASEBALL STADIUM, that would be productive. But the Philippine Government Officials are full of corruption and they don't love baseball. That's really frustrating as a Baseball fan. Lastly that I would like to highlight is the CORRUPT PRIVATE PERSONALITIES like Mr. Eugenio Lopez III and Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan. They have Billions of Cash in their pocket yet these people don't FUND the PHILIPPINE BASEBALL. What they are doing is only corruption and making money. Currently, Philippine Baseball needs money to promulgate and become popular in the country. Philippine Baseball needs huge amount of cash to have excellent baseball players for their development and hopefully represent the country and playing in the Major Leagues. Philippine Baseball needs MARKETING and EXPOSURE in the PHILIPPINE MEDIA and it needs an INDOOR BASEBALL STADIUM for their home games.

I really wish Baseball would boom here in the Philippines. Along with Boxing, it's my favorite sport by far. But I'm not too optimistic it will regain the popularity it deserves. At least not until it's publicly advertised and broadcasted.

As a proud Filipino American, I love baseball!

A baseball video about my country? Never though I'd see the day

These videos are so awesome. Enjoying the different baseball leagues around the world!

Thanks for making this video. Been enjoying your videos for the past few months. I actually have a Manila Sharks jersey. I know a guy who was with the team and when I visited I got a jersey from him. Custom made.

Next you should do South Africa, Italy, Greece, New Zealand, or Lithuania where that Pirates pitcher is from.

I wouldn't call it a baseball powerhouse in the past but it was certainly a lot more popular

Most baseball players are in provinces where there are less funding :(

Love the videos brother! Would love to see some about European countries that aren’t big on baseball. Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc.

I want to be an baseball player but it's so hard in Philippines 😢

I realy love baseball⚾️⚾️🔥

Very interesting and well done. Thanks.

My dream is to build a baseball field in Lumbangan/Zamboanga City, Mindanao for youth baseball. Who knows someday it may happen.

Hi , My to boys are half Filipino . We live in the states . They both play competitive baseball and have since 6 years old . I was wondering how my 2 boys can tryout for the national team ? Any help is appreciated.

Awesome video keep it up!

I pitch with a rolled up sock because there are no baseballs here

It’s hard to be a baseball fan in the Philippines there are no tournaments no fields no organization whatsoever i wanted to play but there is nobody to play with

Wow. I didn't know Chase and Travis are half filipino. Now, im excited for the qualifying game. When is it?

Lets do one about Nepal

You could see how unpopular it was just by looking the views and comment in this video, we need to televise the sport and start building a proper baseball stadium as a start,

do you guys know where I can play baseball in the philippines?

Tim Tibo?! Lol. I guess when you dedicate yourself to one sport, other sports get neglected. Apparently Baseball International is much of an American Football fan😁

To say all that I could say the same about soccer that The Philippines can be the Brazil of Asia. For now China is rising strong!
