why do filipinos love basketball?

That is a stereotype.  Not all Filipinos love basketball.  I am a Filipino and I hate basketball.  Most Filipinos do love basketball because it is one of the National sports in the Philippines and the most popular.

Just like any Filipino boxer, Manny Pacquiao started fighting to escape hunger and extreme poverty.  In the Philippines, you won't find a boxer who comes from a wealthy or a middle class family.  Who would risk getting beat up or even killed in the ring if you can afford to study or have a comfortable 8 to 5 job at an airconditioned office? Filipino boxers just like Manny dream of making it big someday through the only skill they know - fighting.  Pacquiao is just one of the very few who made it big.  Real big!

The Philippines is a diverse country so there are many cultures. \n\nThe used to be ruled by Spain so there is a lot of Spanish culture there. \n\nThe food is good there! I can't remember the names but there is this one soup with meat and other stuff in it. I love it. \n\nLots of fish and pork too...

Filipinos aren't the only cluture group who do so,\nand it makes historic sense: homo sapiens had hands long before tools and spoons were "invented".

their history is so interesting because of the different countries that came there, tried to conquer it, left their mark on it.  It is a kind of United States of Asia.  Filipinos are friendly, curious, and very tolerant of others.   They are located just north of the largest Moslem population in the world--Indonesia.  Yet this great island nation has  maintained its character and its diversity, while Indonesia has not.   How did the Philippine Islands get this way?  That is the reason to study the history.
