Terrence Romeo recently apologized on the brawl between Gilas Pilipinas and Australia Boomers. The altercation broke out in the middle of a game in July 2, Monday at the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
At the end of the day, Gilas lost to Boomers by default after the brawl-filled game.
In the said Instagram post, Terrence also wrote that he deeply apologizes to Filipinos. He also said sorry to those who had lessened their support and felt disappointment on the team.
“Buong puso po akong humihingi ng kapatawaran sa lahat ng Pilipino, mga kabataan at sa mga ibang lahi na sumusoporta sa Gilas. Sa lahat po ng sumuporta samin simula umpisa hanggang sa huli maraming maraming salamat po sainyo. Dun po sa mga taong nawala or nabawasan ang paghanga or na disappoint samin, patawad po.”
Terrence also promised that they would try to gain their support back. He also asked everyone to move on and have their hearts filled with forgiveness.
“Pipilitin po namin maibalik ang pag hanga ninyo at suporta sa Gilas/samin kung hindi man kami yung mga susunod samin, bilang mabuting halimbawa sa loob at labas ng court. taos puso rin akong humihingi ng pasensya sa lahat ng Australians at sa mga players nila. Sana po after natin mailabas yung mga saloobin natin, mag move on na tayong lahat at mag hari po ang kapatawaran at pag mamahalan sa puso nating lahat.”
Terrence expressed what he felt when fellow Filipinos slammed them for defending their teammate.
“Gusto ko lang po express yung nararamdaman ko para dun sa mga taong binabash kaming lahat. Kahit ano namang ginawa namin mga players meron at meron parin masasabi na hindi maganda samin. Kagaya ng pag tumulong ka sa teammate mo na sinasaktan nakakahiya ka dapat hindi kana nakisali pag hindi ka naman tumulong anong klaseng teammate ka pinanunuod mo lang saktan ng dayuhan yung kakampi mo.”
Terrence pointed out that they are not just teammates, they are family.
“sa ganung sitwasyon mag didipende nalang yung kilos na gagawin mo sa paninindiggan mo kung ano yung tingin mong tama. Sa Gilas kasi hindi lang kami basta mag kaka teammates, coaches at management higit pa dun ang turingan namin isa kaming malaking family sigurado ako na hindi kayo papayag na may manakit sa family niyo.”
Terrence and his teammates weren’t proud for being involved in a brawl but he has no regrets and join it rather than leaving his teammates behind.
“Hindi kami proud na nakipag away kami pero proud kami dahil nag tulungan kami at hindi namin iniwan ang isat isa. kaya mas pipiliin ko na na ma bash ng kahit na sino tao matulungan ko lang at wag iwan ang mga kasamahan ko. Pag nangyari ulit yun masasabi ko na ganun parin ang gagawin ko para sa mga kaibigan ko.
Terrence would also teach this to his future children and expressed his gratitude to the people involved and supported them.
“Para sakin yan yung tama at paninindigan ko habang buhay. yan din ang ituturo ko sa anak ko. Kahit anong mangyari wag mo iiwan ang kapatid, kaibigan at ang family mo sa oras ng kagipitan. Gusto ko mag pasalamat sa management, coaches at mga teammates ko dahil naging part ako ng Gilas isang totoong family na hindi nag iiwanan salamat sainyong lahat guys! Now lets all move on. #Gilasasone #brothersforlife #familyforever”
Queen of All Media Kris Aquino left a comment. She also added that she wanted to be friends with Terrence.
“Gusto kitang kaibiganain. #fan”
“sorry wrong spelling KAIBIGANIN.”
The basketball player expressed gratitude towards Kris. He also wished that Kris would keep on supporting Gilas and wished God’s blessing to Kris and family.
“maraming salamat po mam. It takes one to understand one. Keep supporting Gilas po. God bless you and your family.”
