Robles played his college career at Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College before trying out in the PBA D-League and Pilipinas Commercial Basketball League (PCBL).[1] He went undrafted in the 2016 PBA draft but later signed a deal with the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters,[2] although he didn't get any significant playing time. In 2018, he joined the expansion Davao Occidental Tigers of the then-amateur Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) and won a championship with the team in 2021.[3][4]
After a short stint with Davao Occidental in FilBasket, Robles returned to the PBA in 2022, this time with the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters.[5] In 2023, Billy moved back to the now-professional MPBL with the Makati OKBet Kings,[6] but later that year, he moved to the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards franchise.[7]
