He teamed up with Vic Pablo to make Far Eastern University a powerhouse in the UAAP in the late 1980’s, before wearing the national colors and winning a gold medal in the 1991 Manila Southeast Asian Games. The starting point guard on an Alaska team that won a string of PBA championships, he became Most Valuable Player in 1996, the smallest player to earn the award.
Then, he was surprised to learn he had been traded to Pop Cola (later Coca-Cola), a painful experience which took him years to get over.
