[3] Pogoy started getting recognition for his basketball skills at the Salazar Institute of Technology but dropped out of the school.

[3] During this time, 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).

Coach Nash Racela then made him dormmates with teammate Mac Belo, who influenced him to be even more disciplined.

[15] He led all scorers in the semifinal game that brought them back to the finals, scoring 16 points with 10 coming in the second half.

[26] In the next game, against Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, he scored 15 points, played good defense on L.A. Tenorio, and grabbed a crucial offensive rebound.

[31] In Game 3, he had a then career-high 22 points with seven rebounds and six triples (with three made in the final quarter) to lead the series 2–1.

[61] After being unable to play versus Rain or Shine due to the flu, he returned and led the KaTropa to a rout of the Blackwater Elite.

[133] In the quarterfinals, he led with 25 points on 11-of-18 shooting, alongside 11 rebounds, seven assists, four steals, and a block against Phoenix as they returned to the semis.

[141] Eventually, he was able to return within three months, scoring 11 points in a 116–96 win against the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters on January 14, 2024.
