In 1936, Padilla as team captain of the national basketball team led the Philippines to a fifth-place finished in the 11th (1936) Summer Olympics held at Berlin, Germany.
It remains the best finish by an Asian country in men's Olympic basketball history.
Padilla retired from basketball and became the chair of the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (PAAF) Basketball Committee from 1938 to 1954.
