Professional career

PBA D-League

After going undrafted in 2014, Corpuz played for the Erase XFoliant Erasers, the Derulo Accelero Oilers, and the Bread Story Smashing Bakers in the PBA D-League. [4] In the quarterfinals of the 2014-15 Aspirants' Cup, he and Jiovanni Jalalon each scored 21 points to force a rubber match for a slot in the semis. [5] But they lost that match to the Café France-CEU Bakers. [6] In the 2015 Foundation Cup, he switched to the Cebuana Lhuillier Gems. [7] Against the MP Hotel Warriors, he scored 26 points in a 118–78 blowout win. [7]

Beginning in the 2016 Aspirants' Cup, he played for the Caida Tile Masters. [8] His team made it to the semifinals that conference and in the Foundation Cup. [9] [10] They made it to the Finals of the 2017 Aspirants' Cup against the Cignal-San Beda Hawkeyes. [11] The Tile Masters lost Game 1, [11] but he bounced back in Game 2 with a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds. [12] In Game 3, Hawkeye forward Jason Perkins had 21 points, including a go-ahead three pointer, that gave Cignal the Aspirants' Cup championship.

Mahindra Floodbuster / Kia Picanto / Columbian Dyip

After averaging 20 points and 9.3 rebounds in the PBA D-League Finals, Corpuz was signed by the Mahindra Floodbuster. [13] On April 10, 2017, he started in his debut, [1] but was fined P5,000 after his debut. [14]

In the 2018 Philippine Cup, Corpuz injured his hand, putting him out for some time. [15] He was injured again, this time an ankle injury after having 12 points and 7 rebounds in a loss to the San Miguel Beermen. [16] In the 2018 Governors' Cup, he had solid performances. In a loss to the Beermen, he had a career-high 28 points and 10 rebounds. [17] He had 19 points and five rebounds in a loss to the Alaska Aces. [18] At the end of that season, he received a three-year contract. [19]

In the 2019 Philippine Cup, Corpuz had 21 points and 11 rebounds in a upset win over the Beermen. [20] In their rematch in the Commissioner's Cup, he suffered an ACL sprain and a meniscus tear. [21] He returned in the Governors' Cup in a win over the Northport Batang Pier. [22]

Magnolia Hotshots

After their season ended, the Magnolia Hotshots and the Dyip worked out a trade that sent Corpuz to Magnolia, and Aldrech Ramos to Columbian. [23] Before the 2020 Philippine Cup was suspended, he had 16 points and 13 rebounds in his debut. [24] Following the suspension, he had 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting and 11 rebounds against Barangay Ginebra. [25] This started a six-game winning streak that ended when they were eliminated by the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters. [26]

In the 2021 Philippine Cup, Corpuz finished the elimination round leading the league with a career-high 6.6 rebounds per game. [27] During Game 3 of the Finals, against the TnT Tropang Giga, he had an infamous tackle on Troy Rosario while Rosario was still in the air. [28] As a result, Rosario had a bad fall and dislocated his finger and was also revealed to have suffered spinal shock, while Corpuz was ejected from the game. [28] [29] He then had to pay a P20,000 fine. [30] The Hotshots lost that series, and both he and Rosario have made peace. [31]

Corpuz signed a two-year deal with the Hotshots. [32] He led the league in field goal percentage in the 2021 Governors' Cup, shooting 62.5% for that conference. [33]

On August 2, 2024, Corpuz was released by the Hotshots. [34]
