HIstory of Philippine Basketball
This is a postcard of women playing basketball in Dagupan ,1910. Basketball was first introduced to the Philippine public school system by the Americans as a women's sport in 1910 and was played in Interscholastic meets in 1911 until 1913. Women's basketball met opposition from conservative groups, particularly the Catholic Church who view bloomers worn by women basketball players as inappropriate.
The Philippines made their debut in the Olympic Games in 1936 where they finished fifth, the best result of an Asian team in Olympic basketball history. In the same year, the first basketball stamp in the world was released by the country.
During the American occupation of the Philippines, the US teachers were the one who introduced basketball to the Filipinos through the YMCA and school system
