From makeshift courts under bridges to the roaring arenas of the PBA, basketball is more than a game for Filipinos: it's a core part of the national identity.

Why does "puso" resonate so deeply in basketball, and how does the sport itself become a symbolic court where Filipinos play out their struggles and dreams?
