Early life and education

Hailing from Bacolod, Manday grew up in poverty and was unable to attend out-of-town PBA games held in his home province. He was originally a marathoner before transitioning to basketball in his third year in high school.[5]

He graduated with a degree in office administration at the Colegio de Santa Ana de Victorias in 2019.[6]

Collegiate career

Manday was invited by Colegio de San Agustin in Bacolod. While playing for San Agustin at the NOPSSCEA, Manday was scouted by Colegio de Santa Ana de Victorias. He accepted the school's offers out of financial incentives with Manday requesting his brother be also accepted to the team. With the CSAV Titans, Manday helped the team win three NOPSSCEA titles from 2017 to 2019.[5]

Professional career

Marinerong Pilipino (2020)

Manday played two games for the Marinerong Pilipino Skippers in the 2020 PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup which was cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
