Personal life
[edit]Felongco was born in Calinog, Iloilo.[3]
Collegiate career
[edit]Felongco played youth football in the PFF National Men's U-23 Championship in 2011, scoring in the semi-final and leading the team to the final where they lost heavily to NOFA.[4][5] He also played college football for the University of Santo Tomas. In 2013, he earned the "Best Defender" award as UST lost to De La Salle University in the semifinals in Season 76 of the UAAP.[6][7][8]
Club career

Kaya
[edit]At the end of the 2015 United Football League season, it was announced that Felongco would leave Stallion in favor of fellow UFL club Kaya FC,[14][15][3] who were competing in the AFC Cup for the first time. He made his first appearance in the AFC Cup in Kaya's 1–0 win over Maldivian side New Radiant.[16]
He stayed with Kaya in 2017 as they renamed to Kaya–Makati and participated in the newly–formed Philippines Football League. In 2018, Kaya moved to the province of Iloilo, the home province of Felongco, and he scored in the club's first-ever match in the province as Kaya tied 1–1 with Ceres-Negros.[17]
In 2021, Kaya qualified for the AFC Champions League for the first time, with Felongco coming off the bench in a 5–0 loss to Viettel FC.[1][18]
