Aided by his international exposure, including representing the Philippines in the 10th Ever Glory Basketball Cup in Taiwan, he has earned the status as a young talent to watch out for in Philippine basketball.

Despite receiving invitations from multiple schools, Domangcas revealed that he prioritized FEU above all. “I was invited to other schools but I really just prioritized FEU and didn’t go to the other invites I got,” he explained.
As he gears up for a residency year, Domangcas is focused on learning and growing. “Since I’ll serve a year for residency, I just wanna be like a sponge and learn everything that I can from the vets and Coach Sean Chambers. I aim to just embrace the role that’ll be given to me really,” he shared.
FEU Tamaraws fans will be watching closely as Domangcas prepares to make his mark in UAAP collegiate basketball, bringing his size, skill, and experience to the team’s roster.
