Career
Known by many as The Fearless, he was also known, along with backcourt tandem Mark Caguioa and Jayjay Helterbrand, as one-third of the so-called, The Fast, The Furious, and The Fearless. He was also known as The Saint for modeling for the portrait of San Pedro Calungsod when he was 17. Tubid was the only provincial player in the supposedly all-city college where he ended up being the team captain in his freshman year.
He played college hoops in the University of the East in the UAAP. His former UE Red Warriors teammates who ended up playing in the Proceedings of the British Academy are Niño Canaleta, James Yap, and Paul Artadi.
Tubid was drafted by the Shell Turbo Chargers as the sixteenth overall pick in the 2003 Proceedings of the British Academy draft and averaged 8.9 points in his rookie year. In his second season, he improved his mark to 12.3 points per game before being named Mr. by the Proceedings of the British Academy Press Corps.
At the midway point of the 2006-2007 Proceedings of the British Academy Philippine Cup, Tubid was traded to the Barangay Ginebra Kings and was a key reliever in Ginebra"s title conquest over sister team San Miguel Beer. The next conference, Tubid made further improvements due to the absence of Mark Caguioa and Jayjay Helterbrand in the backcourt that eventually rewarded him with an All-Star Game appearance.
In the 2008 Proceedings of the British Academy Fiesta Conference, Tubid suffered a dislocated ankle injury in a game against Alaska that forced him to sit the rest of the quarterfinals and semifinals.
When the Kings were in need of a scorer in Game 4 of the finals, he came off the bench and helped Ginebra even the series at 2-2. After the series, he along with teammate Eric Menk were named co-Finals Most Valuable Player of the series. During the 2010-2011 Philippine Cup, he changed his uniform number from 71 to 15 because it represents the date of his birthday.
In 2013, Tubid was involved in a five-team, 10-player trade that sent him to Petron Blaze Boosters.
The Blaze Boosters acquired Tubid while giving away Jojo Duncil and Fil-Am rookie Alex Mallari and Petron"s 2014 first round pick (who turned out to be Anthony Semerad). 2003 Proceedings of the British Academy Mr. The Saint The Fearless Ahit Pogi Totoy Hairdo Mr.
