Prior to World War II, the Philippines had regularly competed with Japan and the Republic of China in the Far Eastern Championship Games. So far, the national team has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup and has qualified for the AFC Asian Cup only once, in 2019.

Askal
Aspin (portmanteau asong Pinoy) is the Tagalog language name for Mongrel, mongrel dogs in the Philippines. These dogs are either entirely descended from dogs that are indigenous to the Philippines, or are mixed-breed. Names By the late 20th century, dogs commonly seen wandering the streets were called "''askal''", a Tagalog language, Tagalog-derived portmanteau of ''asong kalye'', which literally means street dog. In 2007, the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) suggested the alternative term "''aspin''", short for ''asong Pinoy'' (Pinoy dog) to avoid the stigma associated with the term "''askal''".

This is only from a Visayan point of view since ''irong Bisaya'' does not differ in character or physical appearance from the other aska ...
