Cabang qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He failed to secure an outright semifinals berth in the men's 110m hurdles. He dropped to the repechage which he forfeited due to an injury.

The injury rendered Cabang unable to compete for eight months before returning to the ICTSI Philippine Athletics Championships in May 2025.

At the 2025 SEA Games, Cabang set a new competition record by clocking 13.66 seconds to win a gold medal.
