Ronald Pascual

He spent a year in Adamson’s Team B during his first year in college and recalls that experience as one of the hardest times in his life. Because of this, he returned to the comforts of home in an effort to rediscover his confidence by playing in inter-barangay leagues. Back in Pampanga, he received a call from none other than the lead assistant coach of San Sebastian, Alan Trinidad who asked him to participate in the basketball camp of then Mayor (now vice governor) Dennis Pineda in Lubao, Pampanga. Pineda then took him in his stable, along with Calvin Abueva and Ian Sangalang, and together, they formed an alliance in San Sebastian called "Pinatubo Trio". They won their only NCAA championship together in 2009 under head coach and fellow Kapampangan, Ato Agustin. Two years later, the same triumvirate won the first PBA D-League Championship in 2011.

On September 28, 2015, Pascual, together with Jake Pascual, was among the six players who was traded in a four-team deal that sent them to the Star Hotshots. In early 2016, Pascual did not report to the team's practices for a month and has not been seen since December 2015. However, just one day after an article was published in Spin.ph about his missing, it was reported that he came back to the Hotshots' practice, with Star team governor Rene Pardo citing that Pascual had a recurring fever and was unable to communicate with the team officials after his two cell phones were stolen in his car.

Pascual was supposed to apply for the 2012 PBA draft, but he pulled out at the last minute due to nagging injuries. Instead, he decided to play for the NLEX Road Warriors in the D-League where he was one of the members of this star-studded team that dominated the D-League and went to the finals for 7 straight conferences in four seasons, winning 6 of them. Finally, he decided to join the 2014 PBA draft in a last-minute decision upon the advice of his longtime patron Dennis Pineda.

Pascual started playing basketball at age 11, but he was a varsity volleyball player until he was in his 2nd year of high school. It was this experience that taught him the proper way to use his legs when jumping.

Ronald Lozada Pascual (born June 23, 1988) is a Filipino professional basketball player who last played for the Alaska Aces of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He was drafted with the 3rd overall pick by the San Miguel Beermen in the 2014 PBA draft.
