Early life and college career

Pogoy grew up in Talisay, Cebu as the youngest of two brothers and two sisters and was taught basketball by his father, who was a former basketball player in Mindanao turned seaman.[1][2] Although he didn't play basketball in grade school, he played it at summer camps and at local courts.[3]

Pogoy started getting recognition for his basketball skills at the Salazar Institute of Technology, but dropped out of the school.[2] In his first year of high school, he got a scholarship from the University of Visayas, where he trained as a Team B player by waking up at 4 am for 5 am practices and was mentored by Rudy Enterina, a former PBA player.[3] During this time however, he frequently played computer games, such as Counter Strike, which affected his grades and caused him to skip practices.[2] After a talk with his father made him acknowledge that his grades were suffering and that he needed to improve his discipline, he transferred to the University of Cebu (UC).

At UC, Pogoy first played for their Under-16 team in the inaugural season of the Cebu Youth Basketball League (CYBL) in 2008.[3] He eventually became a star for the UC Junior Webmasters that year, leading them to a Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) juniors title, and claiming the Finals MVP award.[4][5] He then joined the Tamaraws after his father read about the FEU tryouts in Cebu in the local newspaper, and encouraged him to try out.[6]

College career

Pogoy first played for the FEU Tamaraws in UAAP Season 74.[7] The Tamaraws made it to the finals that year, but lost to the Ateneo Blue Eagles in two games.[8] In Season 75, Pogoy had a game where he scored 17 points and 13 rebounds.[9] The team finished fifth, with a win–loss record of 9–5. Pogoy returned for Season 76.[10] They lost in the Final Four to the De La Salle Green Archers.[11] In the Season 77 Finals, Pogoy scored 10 of his 14 points in the third quarter to help the Tamaraws win Game 1.[12] They eventually lost in 3 games to the NU Bulldogs.

In his first four years at FEU, Pogoy often spent more time on the bench of games, behind the likes of Terrence Romeo, RR Garcia and JR Cawaling.[3] He got frustrated, and told his parents and high school coach that he wanted to go home. His parents convinced him to stay, so he kept working. Coach Nash Racela then made him dormmates with teammate Mac Belo, who influenced him to be even more disciplined.[13]

In Season 78, Pogoy had an expanded role, as the team relied on him for scoring and defense.[14] He led all scorers in the game that brought them back to the Finals, scoring 16 points with 10 coming in the second half.[15] Their opponent in the Finals were the UST Growling Tigers.[16] In Game 1, Pogoy had 15 points (12 in the first quarter) to lead a balanced attack to get the win.[17] In Game 2, Pogoy had 12 points but missed the latter part of the fourth quarter due to cramps. The Tamaraws lost that game, 62–56.[18] In Game 3, Pogoy scored 14 points to put UST away, winning FEU its first title since 2005.[19] He graduated after that season.[20]
