After playing for the JRU Heavy Bombers and multiple teams in the PBA D-League, Mabulac was drafted 32nd overall by the San Miguel Beermen of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), but didn't get significant playing time.[1] In 2018, he moved to the MPBL and played with the Laguna Heroes and Bacoor City Strikers before going back to the professional ranks with the Basilan Peace Riders of the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup in 2021.[2][3][4] Later that year, he joined the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards franchise and stayed there until 2024 when we moved to the expansion Pangasinan Heatwaves.[5]
Across all leagues, Mabulac has won six professional championships (three in the PBA, and one each in the MPBL, VisMin, and FilBasket) as well as a Finals MVP nod in VisMin.[6] He also has two MPBL all-star selections as well as an All-MPBL Second Team selection.
