International career

Borromeo first represented the Philippines at under-19 level during the 2000 AFC Youth Championship qualifiers and was also a goalkeeper at that time.[3] Four years later, Borromeo would make his full international debut playing in all four matches in the 2004 Tiger Cup.[4] This time he was playing as a striker and he assisted both goals by Emelio Caligdong, to give the Philippines their first ever win in the competition, defeating Timor-Leste 2–1.[5]

He has also represented the Philippines at under-23 level. He captained the Philippines under-23 team during the 2005 Southeast Asian Games on home soil and was converted to a central defender.[6] He also scored in the 4–2 win against Cambodia.[7] However, the Philippines failed to progress to the knockout stage.
