Caloy Garcia was born to a Spanish father who is from Malaga[3] and a Filipino mother. He studied at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde and briefly played for the Dazz Dishwashing Paste in the PBL. He is a cousin of B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados head coach Jorge Gallent, also a Benildean. He assisted Garcia in the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde and the Welcoat Paintmasters prior to his winning run with the Harbour Centre Batang Pier.
He was one of the male hosts of Sunday noontime variety show, GMA Supershow.[4]
He assisted Leo Austria in the Welcoat Paintmasters from 2002 to 2004.
He was the head coach of the Welcoat Paintmasters from 2005 up to its last year in 2006. He even led them to a PBL title (Unity Cup) in 2005 defeating the Monataña Pawnshop, 3-1.
He was hired in 2005 to replace Tonichi Ytturi as head coach of the Benilde Blazers. Under him, he produced NCAA MVP Jay Sagad. Later, he led them to 5-9, 3-11, and 1-11 records respectively. He was later replaced by Gee Abanilla.[5]
He again assisted Leo Austria in the Welcoat Paintmasters from 2006 to 2008. Austria then resigned after the Philippine Cup.
He was hired as an interim coach of the Dragons and eventually the team's head coach in 2008. After being eliminated by the San Miguel Beermen during the quarterfinals of the 2010–11 Philippine Cup, Rain or Shine announced that Garcia will be replaced by Yeng Guiao as head coach. Garcia will slide down as the head assistant coach of the team.
Upon the resignation of Louie Alas, Garcia was chosen to become the head coach of the Colegio de San Juan de Letran Knights. He will start coaching Letran during the 2013–2014 NCAA season.[6] He led the Knights into the finals, when they lost to San Beda Red Lions.
