PBA career[]
Barangay Ginebra San Miguel[]
Jamito was the 3rd pick of the regular round in the 2016 PBA Draft.[1]
In 2017, Jamito was part of the Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Week.[3] The crowd expected him to jump over 6-foot-9 Japeth Aguilar.[3] Instead, he side-stepped him and did a basic one-hand dunk, drawing laughs from the crowd.[3] The stunt became viral, and was featured on the television show "The Starters."[4] He also won a Governors' Cup title that year.
Meralco Bolts[]
In 2018, Ginebra made him an unrestricted free agent, allowing the Bolts to pick him up.[2] He had his best game with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and one block in a loss to the Phoenix Fuel Masters.[5]
In 2021, he was given a contract extension.[6]
Personal life[]
Jamito is also known for his vlogs on YouTube, with around 20k subscribers.[7]
