How tall can a Filipino really get?

In this video, we count down the 10 tallest Filipinos in history, from remarkable giants who became famous in sports & entertainment to people whose extraordinary height shaped their everyday lives. But this isn't just about height. Behind every number is a real person with a unique story, from humble beginnings and family life to education, work, struggles, unexpected careers & incredible achievements.

OUR METHODOLOGY
For this list, we focused on Filipinos with Filipino ancestry on both parents' sides. For height, we compared multiple reported figures and gave more weight to legitimate sources, including official sports organizations, player profiles & established publications. When heights differed, we considered the reliability and consistency of the available reports.

We also acknowledge that Galen Casida, reported at 7'2", was missed in our original research and should have been considered.

From #10 to #1, discover their incredible stories and extraordinary heights. Who surprised you the most? Let us know in the comments!

Hi everyone! Thank you for all the comments, suggestions, and corrections about our Top 10 Tallest Filipinos list. We really appreciate them.

Just to clarify, our original goal was to make this list for Filipinos with Filipino ancestry on both parents' sides. That is why some prominent names with mixed ancestry were not included. However, we admit that we missed Galen Casida, 7'2", who should have been considered.

For the heights, we did not simply grab one number from Google. We compared several reported heights and gave more weight to legitimate sources, especially official sports organizations and established publications. For example, Jericho de Guzman & June Mar Fajardo are both commonly listed at 6'11". But we ranked Jericho higher because June Mar has also been listed at 6'10" or even 6'9", while Jericho's reported height is more consistently 6'11".

We also know many of you have other names in mind. We are cooking up a Top 10 Tallest Mixed-Blood Filipinos video, so some of those names may appear there. The video is coming soon, so please watch out for it! Thank you again for helping us make the list better and more accurate.

Restituto Quinlan was 7’8” but was introduced in the Circus as 8’2” . He was in Circus from the 70’s until mid 80’s . I think he died in the late 80’s. , Galen Casida is 7’2” and has a youtube channel he was a former college basketball-layer.

Eto nagpapatunay na insecure talaga ang Pilipino about sa height.
