In 2016, Pablo auditioned for ShowBT Philippines after meeting their Korean trainer at a Korean musical.

[5] He was the first member of SB19 to audition in the talent agency. After passing the auditions, he started training for two years and became part of NARRA trainee group. [6] [7] Due to the pressure in the training program, he resigned from his work as a data analyst to focus on the training. [8] The trainee group performed at various events in the agency. [9]

[12] [13] On 26 October 2018, Pablo debuted with fellow members Josh, Stell, Justin, and Ken with "Tilaluha" written by Pablo himself.
