At the end of his rookie season, he was named to the All-Rookie Team.

Early into his second season, he tore his ACL. He was out for ten months. He was almost traded for Barako Bull's 2013 1st round pick, but the trade was altered, and Rico Maierhofer and Willy Wilson were sent instead. He returned with 16 points in 17 minutes in a win over the San Mig Coffee Mixers.

Return to Barako (2015)

International career

In 2004, Ababou played for the RP Youth Team, competing in the 2004 Southeast Asia Junior Basketball Championship and in that year's Asia Basketball Confederation (ABC) Junior Men's Championship.

Immediately after his collegiate career with the Tigers ended, Ababou was called to join the Smart Gilas Philippines men's national basketball team together with the likes of Chris Tiu, JVee Casio, Mac Baracael and Mark Barroca, players whom he faced during his college career. However, his tenure with Smart Gilas did not go well as he had limited playing time with the team.
