Amateur career

Manuel possessed tremendous athleticism and agility uncommon for athletes his size. He played college ball at Philippine School of Business Administration as a member of PSBA Jaguars varsity squad under Coach Joseph Ocampo where he was awarded UCAA Most Valuable Player. He first rose from obscurity two years ago when he stole the spotlight from older, more experienced players to capture the PBL MVP plum as a player of Pharex B-Complex.

He also suited up for the Cebuana Lhuillier Gems in the PBA D-League where he was awarded PBA D-League Aspirants Cup Best Player of the Conference honors,[2] after averaging 15.9 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.

Professional career

Manuel was drafted ninth overall by GlobalPort Batang Pier in the 2012 PBA draft. After spending one season at GlobalPort, he was acquired by Meralco in 2013.

On July 12, 2013, prior to the start of the 2013 PBA Governors' Cup he was traded, along with Carlo Sharma to Air21 for Nonoy Baclao and swingman John Wilson.[3]

On March 10, 2014, PBA Commissioner Chito Salud approved the trade that sent him to Alaska in exchange for Aldrech Ramos.[4] With this trade, he reunited with his former coach at Cebuana, Luigi Trillo.
