Filipino people are typically shorter than the average human being.

It'd be opening a huge can of works to allow people over 5'8" to start playing. The balance of the league would fall to pieces. :8

There is a Filipino in my guard unit; first generation immigrant (his parents still live there.) He is easily 6'2".

I used to play pick-up ball in Silverlake, CA, with a group of Filipinos. Great guys, lots of fun on a Sunday afternoon.
One day a group of asians were playing on another court. We were short some of our regulars so I suggested we ask them to come over.
"Oh no," was the response. "Those guys are Cambodian. They're crazy!"
