The premise is wrong. It's not that football hasn't caught on in those countries. It's just that it hasn't done so yet. It's inevitable really though

Speaking for the Philippines, you lost your chance when the Azkals failed to become a viable team in international play. At least the sport caught on in Negros Island, and the sport draws big crowds there.

What's been catching on here lately is volleyball, and not just any volleyball. Women's volleyball - and I'm inclined to understand, since longer rallies and crazy saves are more common (as I remember from my experience) in women's volleyball as opposed to men's volleyball.
