A former king Tamaraw at Far Eastern University, Pablo was the second overall pick in the 1993 PBA draft.

In 1998, Pablo was one of the final cuts in coach Tim Cone's Philippine Centennial Team. Vic made up for the non-inclusion to the Asian Games squad by having an outstanding season with Formula Shell. He earned his first PBA championship in a six-year career when Shell won the season-ending Governors Cup.
He was traded to Mobiline Phone Pals for Mark Telan at the beginning of the new millennium. In 2003, finally free from injuries, Pablo stepped up big and helped the Phone Pals win their first title in the All-Filipino Cup Championship.
Pablo was later on traded to Barangay Ginebra Kings in 2008, where he finally got to play for the team that drafted him. He won a championship ring for the Kings during the Fiesta Conference. After his one season stint w/ Ginebra, he decided to call it quits.Coaching career
