Dean Paulo Villegas Hubalde (born January 24, 1981), sometimes known as Paolo Hubalde, is a Filipino professional basketball player for the MJAS Zenith–Talisay Aquastars of the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup. He is the son of one of the greatest shooters to ever play in the PBA, Freddie Hubalde. Paulo plays the guard position.

He was a former UE Red Warrior, playing alongside Paul Artadi, James Yap, Niño Canaleta and Ronald Tubid.

Hubalde was the lone draft by the San Miguel Beermen in 2005, probably a move if he can be an understudy for the aging Olsen Racela.^{[clarification needed]} His role diminished when the Beermen took in Brandon Cablay and played only eight games in that season in just five minutes a night of exposure.^{[citation needed]}

The 5-11 point guard saw himself reuniting with coach Jong Uichico with the Barangay Ginebra Kings in a multi-player trade in the early part of the season. However, he was a third stringer in the point guard rotation after the Kings signed veteran Johnny Abarrientos to be the chief backup of Jayjay Helterbrand.

During the 2008–09 season, Hubalde was signed by the Barako Bull Energy Boosters, where he finally had the chance to prove his skills as an athletic point guard.^[1]

After the 2010–11 PBA Philippine Cup, he was acquired by the Beermen for a second stint. There he became a role player and helped the Cojuangco-owned franchise now known as the Petron Blaze Boosters win the 2011 PBA Governors' Cup against Talk 'N Text.

This^[when?] off-season, he and Magi Sison were involved in a three-team, seven player deal that sent Nonoy Baclao and Robert Reyes to Air21.^[2]

On November 12, 2014 Hubalde was traded by the San Miguel Beermen to Barako Bull Energy in exchange for Jeric Fortuna.^{[citation needed]}
