Club career

Early years in Spain

Born in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, Andalusia, Bienve made his senior debut with local CD Rayo Sanluqueño in the 2005–06 season. In summer 2007 he moved to Cádiz CF, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.

On 2 December 2007, Bienve appeared in his first game as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 home win against Racing de Ferrol for the Segunda División championship.[1] He totalled 58 minutes for the first team, who was eventually relegated.

Bienve was released by Cádiz on 7 April 2010, due to indiscipline.[2] He joined fourth level club Villarrubia CF 14 days later,[3] and scored a career-best 21 goals during the campaign.

Bienve moved to fellow league team CD Móstoles in the 2011 off-season, returning to Villarrubia in the following transfer window[4] and subsequently resuming his career in division four, where he represented La Hoya Lorca CF and UD Socuéllamos.[5] With the latter, he achieved promotion to Segunda División B in 2014.

Ceres–Negros / United City

On 14 May 2015, Bienve moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing a deal with then Filipino United Football League side Ceres FC.[6] He was encouraged by Cadiz teammate Carli de Murga to play for Ceres as early as 2012.[7] Ceres later joined the Philippines Football League as Ceres–Negros FC.

Marañon became the all-time top scorer in the AFC Cup when he scored his 35th goal in Ceres–Negros's 4–0 win against Bali United on 11 March 2020.[7]

Ceres—Negros was taken over by a new management in July 2020 which renamed the club to United City FC. Marañon is among the players re-signed by the new management.[8]

International career

On 3 March 2020, during the 18th Congress, Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri sponsored a bill proposing the grant of Philippine citizenship to Bienve, that would render him available to play for the Philippine national team.[9]
