Personal life

Jalique was born in Bacoor, Cavite. 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.[2]

Club career

Azkals Development Team

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.[3] He made seven appearances before the club suddenly withdrew from the league in early 2023.

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.[4] [5]

Philippines U19

Jalique was called up again to the Philippine U19 National Team to participate in the 2022 AFF U19 Championship.[10] He made his debut against Thailand, coming on for Andres Aldeguer.[11]
