In 2018, he moved to another Filipino club Ceres-Negros. Ceres-Negros placed him on loan to Malaysian club PKNP where he played in the 2019 Malaysia Super League. In January 2020, he was signed for Thai club Trat ahead of the 2020 Thai League 1 season.[5]

After Trat FC's relegation to 2021–22 Thai League 2, he was acquired by Nongbua Pitchaya as their ASEAN quota for 2021–22 Thai League 1.[6] In August 2022, he was signed by Thai Club Nakhon Ratchasima ahead of the 2022–23 Thai League 1.[7] He would later return at Trat at the start of the 2023–24 Thai League 1.

International career

Aguinaldo was part of the Philippines U-22 Olympic squad that competed in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games held in Philippines.[8] He was one of two senior players of the squad along with Stephan Schröck.[9]

Philippines

[edit]

In August 2013, he was named in the 21-man squad for the international friendly match against Indonesia[10] on August 14, 2013. He earned his first senior international cap on the said match by replacing James Younghusband in 63rd minute.[11]

He made his first appearance for the under-23 national team in the 1–0 friendly match loss against Singapore on June 13, 2013.[12]

Aguinaldo was a member of the Philippines' squad at both the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup and the 2014 AFF Championship, reaching the finals and semi-finals respectively in each competition.[13] During the latter tournament Aguinaldo was involved in a fair bit of controversy in the first leg of the semi-final as Thai striker Adisak Kraisorn was sent off for an off the ball altercation with the Filipino defender.[14] It appeared that Aguinaldo might have provoked the confrontation and afterwards he and other Filipino footballers received threats from Thai fans.[15]

Personal life

[edit]

Aguinaldo is an only child of Ariel and Maida Aguinaldo who both had roots to Davao. His name Amani is derived from an African title meaning both "warrior" and "peace". He was born in Las Piñas, but due to his parents' professions his family moved to Cebu and then Davao City where Aguinaldo spent most of his childhood, before moving back to the Manila area where he attended high school. Aguinaldo took up football from his father at the age of five, and nine years later he was called up to the Philippines U-14 by future Loyola coach Kim Chul-soo. At the age of 16 Aguinaldo was selected to play for the u-21 side at the 2012 Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy. During the tournament Aguinaldo was roomed with twins Marwin and Marvin and became good friends with both. His favorite teams are Manchester City, Bayern Munich, A.C. Milan, and Real Madrid, although his favorite footballer is Lionel Messi.[3][16]
