Personal life edit

Jalique was born in Bacoor, Cavite.[1] As a street child, he was taken up by the Tuloy sa Don Bosco Foundation under Father Rocky Evangelista and would take part in the school's football program.[3]

Club career edit

Azkals Development Team edit

In 2022, Jalique, alongside four other boys from Tuloy, signed for the Azkals Development Team of the Philippines Football League, a club aimed at cultivating young Filipino footballers.[4][3] He made seven appearances before the club suddenly withdrew from the league in early 2023.

Tuloy FC edit

After the ADT, Jalique would return to Tuloy as the club participated in the 2023 Copa Paulino Alcantara, scoring 5 goals in 5 matches. In 2024, the club would participate in the PFL for the first time. Leading the line for Tuloy, he scored four goals in his first two games.[5][6]

Jalique was first called up to the Philippine U16 team for the 2019 AFF U15 Championship.[7] After getting called up again for the 2020 AFC U16 Championship qualifiers,[8] he scored his first-ever hat trick against the Northern Mariana Islands, though the Philippines narrowly missed out on qualification.[9][10]

Philippines U19 edit

Jalique was called up again to the Philippine U19 National Team to participate in the 2022 AFF U19 Championship.[11] He made his debut against Thailand, coming on for Andres Aldeguer.[12]
