History

The Philippines has been competing in the sepak takraw events of the Southeast Asian Games.

The national team joined the first ISTAF World Cup in 2011 which was hosted by Malaysia winning over Bangladesh and Brunei enabling the team to join the inaugural 2011–12 ISTAF SuperSeries (ISS). The head coach for the 2011-2012 season was Rodolfo Eco led by players, John John Bobier and Jason Huerte.[1]

At the King's Cup, the Philippines won the gold medal of Division I of the doubles event by defeating Brunei by 3-2.[2]

They were set to participate at the next ISS series in 2013–14 but they did not enter in any of the four tournaments of the series. The Philippines was to be led by head coach Hector Memarion.[1]

The Philippines did not participate at the first three tournaments of the 2014–15 ISTAF SuperSeries and were only invited to enter the fourth and Final tournament along with India after China and Indonesia withdrew from the ISS Final.[3] The Philippines later made its best finish in the ISTAF SuperSeries so far by beating Japan in the third-place play-off.[4]
