Career highlights and awards

Billy Ray Robles (born May 30, 1992) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).

Robles played his college career at Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College before trying out in the PBA D-League and Pilipinas Commercial Basketball League (PCBL).[1] He went undrafted in the 2016 PBA draft but later signed a deal with the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters,[2] although he didn't get any significant playing time. In 2018, he joined the expansion Davao Occidental Tigers of the then-amateur Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) and won a championship with the team in 2021.[3][4]

After a short stint with Davao Occidental in FilBasket, Robles returned to the PBA in 2022, this time with the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters.[5] In 2023, Billy moved back to the now-professional MPBL with the Makati OKBet Kings,[6] but later that year, he moved to the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards franchise.[7]
