He later joined the Red Bull Energy Drink squad in the Philippine Basketball League with Ildefonso and later Junthy Valenzuela, Jimwell Torion, Davonn Harp and Kerby Raymundo.

PBA career


Red Bull Barako

In 2000, Red Bull moved up to the PBA ranks as its 10th member. Newly installed head coach

and 2002 Commissioner's Cup tournaments. In 2003, he competed in the slam dunk contest during All-Star Weekend. At the end of the 2003 season, he signed a new two-year deal with the team. By the 2004–05 season, Tugade's role increased after the franchise retooled its lineup following losses to Harp, Willie Miller, and for a while, Mick Pennisi. Along with Enrico Villanueva both led Red Bull to a surprising semifinals appearance in the 2005 Fiesta Conference. At the 2005–06 Fiesta Conference, through the effort of Tugade, Villanueva, the return of Pennisi, the acquisition of rookie shooting guard Larry Fonacier, the much-suited import James Penny, and the other tough players from the team, Red Bull won the Fiesta Conference crown and the club's first title in four years. In Game 2 against the Purefoods Chunkee Giants, Tugade outscored all locals with 30 points before eventually winning the championship. He was named the Finals MVP for the first and only time in his PBA career.http://www.spin.ph/sports/basketball/special-reports/goodbyes-never-easy-as-tugade-calls-it-a-career Goodbyes never easy as Tugade calls it a career, spin.ph/sports The next conference, Tugade averaged 56.7 percent from the three-point distance, the highest of his career and became the league's leading three-point shooter during the 2006 Philippine Cup. The Bulls made it to the finals but lost to Purefoods in six games. At the end of the season, he led the team in scoring, was ranked fourth in the MVP race and became part of the First Mythical Team selection for the first time in his career. He made 153 three pointers, the most of his career. He also got to participate in the three-point shootout during that season's All-Star Weekend.


San Miguel Beermen

At the start of the 2006–07 PBA Philippine Cup, Tugade was sidelined with an injury and missed the first part of the conference. However, he was later traded to San Miguel Beermen in a three-way deal that also involved Rommel Adducul of the Barangay Ginebra Kings. With a strong lineup, Tugade played a limited role for the Beermen as he was still recuperating from his injury while sharing minutes with Danny Seigle, Chris Calaguio and

. He posted significant numbers for San Miguel during their long eight-game winning streak. From the 2008–09 season, Tugade was plagued by injuries, playing only 64 games from 2008–11. His minutes also began to decrease in his tenure with San Miguel. In 2010, Tugade was traded to back to Barako in exchange for Sunday Salvacion. However, due to injuries, he didn't get to play for Barako again and when Barako folded, he was placed in a dispersal draft where San Miguel picked him up. He got to experience one more title with the team when they won the 2011 Governors' Cup.


Powerade Tigers: Final season and retirement

Tugade did not fully recover from his injuries but played 32 games in the 2011–12 season, averaging career-lows of 3.7 points and 1.5 rebounds. He was traded to the Powerade Tigers along with Rabeh Al-Hussaini and Rey Guevarra before the start of the 2012 Governors' Cup. At the end of the season, he decided to retire because of his injuries.
