In 2018, when Guiao was hired as head coach of the national team, he was tapped to be an assistant.[4][5] Notably his role was being deputy scout for Ryan Gregorio (who was appointed as special assistant to the SBP president).[6] The team played for 2018 Asian Games. He was also retained for 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, and on its preceding qualifying games.[5][7]
