College / amateur career

Marata initially attended at Reedley International School, but later on, he transferred to University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS), where he became a standout and was awarded as the UAAP Season 70 Juniors MVP. After his high school career ended, he was recruited by DLSU but had to sit out for a year owing to UAAP's residency rules for student-athlete transferring from one UAAP member school to another. After serving his one-year residency, he made the Green Archers' line up for UAAP Season 72. He had his most fruitful outing as a Green Archer during his sophomore year, he averaged 7.3 points, 1.4 assists, and 25% shooting percentage from the three-point area in 16 minutes of play, while establishing himself as a reliable outside shooter. His numbers, however, saw a dip the following year. In UAAP Season 74, he averaged just five points and a 15% outside shooting clip in 17 minutes of play. [2] He failed to make the team's line up for Season 75, citing academic problems. [3] He decided to leave La Salle and returned to his high school alma mater at UP. [4] After fulfilling his residency requirements, he made it to the Fighting Maroons' lineup for Season 76. [5]

While in college, he played for the Blackwater Sports in the PBA Developmental League. [6]
