Now here's my opinion. I don't say Filipinos don't like it or whatsoever Filipinos are flexible when it comes to sports but has a little problem when we say Football sports there's one problem which is the location. Football court requires a lot of area to be occupied than basketball court. 

We all know that Philippines is a archipelagic country in Southeast Asia meaning it consists of many Islands unlike other countries. There's a football court in Philippines but you can't saw it anywhere unlike basketball court especially on the street or they called it street basketball. 

Here take a look a this little map.. 

That's probably the reason because football court required a wide and plain area whereas Philippines don't have but we Filipinos loved football especially The Philippine National Football Team Azkals. 

So that's my opinion between Football and Basketball. Thanks for reading. 😊
