Career highlights and awards

Zaldy Realubit (born February 18, 1967) is a Filipino retired professional basketball player who played in the PBA. He was also the head coach of the Pilipinas Aguilas.

Realubit hails from Nasipit, Agusan del Norte. He completed his high school at the Northwestern Agusan College but it was at the University of San Jose–Recoletos where he got hooked into basketball under coach Yayoy Alcoseba. Realubit went on to play for Mama's Love in the Philippine Basketball League (PABL) from 1984-1985 and RFM-Swifts in his final two years in the amateur league and has blossomed into a fine center.

Realubit turned professional in 1989 when he was drafted by Presto Ice Cream with the 3rd pick. He played a key role in the franchise' sixth and final championship during the 1990 PBA All-Filipino Conference Finals. His impressive performance earned him a berth for the all-pro Philippine team to the 1990 Asian Games as a replacement for Jerry Codiñera.

After Presto's disbandment at the end of the 1992 PBA season, he moved to newcomer Sta. Lucia Realtors but was traded along with Vergel Meneses to Swift in the following conference. His stint with Swift was highly successful, culminating in Realubit winning three championships with the team, and playing there for six years.

During the 2000 Governors' Cup, Realubit was traded to the Tanduay Rhum Masters in exchange for two second-round picks.
