The event poster lists Julio Carbungco among its Marlboro Tour standouts, with Rogelio de Guzman, Jerry Lumba and Roel Tan.
The Voice Newsweekly’s report on the Mayor Pogi Lazatin Bikefest of March 2024 lists a “Julie Carbungco” among the professional cyclists of Angeles City honored that day. We take that to be the same rider, and we use the poster’s spelling, Julio, on this page.
The paper wrote that the honorees had “at one time or another joined professional cycling tournaments such as the Marlboro Tour”. It does not give the years he raced, his teams or his results, and we have found no other published record.
The Marlboro Tour years ran from the late 1970s to 1998. Jacinto Sicam, Carlo Guieb and Renato Dolosa each won the race twice in that time. The 2024 tribute named eleven professional riders from Angeles City, and our guide to Pampanga in Philippine cycling lists them.
If you rode with Julio Carbungco, or have photos or clippings from his racing days, please get in touch. We would also be glad to confirm how he spells his name.
