International career

Caligdong made his debut in the 2004 Tiger Cup, playing all four matches and scoring three goals.[3] Two of those goals came in the 89th and 92nd minute in the 2–1 win over Timor-Leste,[4] making it the first ever victory of the Philippines in the ASEAN Football Championship.

He has also played for the Philippines U-23 at the 2005 Southeast Asian Games and in the pre-SEA Games tournament where he scored against Myanmar[5] and Timor-Leste.[6]. On September 30, 2011, Caligdong scored two goals in a draw against Hong Kong[7] and two more goals on October 4 against Macau in the 2011 Long Teng Cup. Caligdong, who shrugged off injuries to score both goals against Macau, emerged the top scorer for the tournament, earning the Golden Boot trophy.[8][9]
