A-list celeb wants to befriend Terrence Romeo for standing up for fellow Gilas players

Gilas sharp-shooter Terrence Romeo had issue an apology for his role in the nasty brawl that happened during the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifier between Team Philippines and Australia.

Kris Aquino on Team Gilas: "The team is suffering enough, hindi ba natin sila pwede damayan?"

A total of 13 players from both sides were ejected after a few heated, tension-filled moments in the 3rd quarter of the match led to an all-out fist fight at the Philippine Arena.

Terrence posted a lengthy statement on his Instagram account to explain what had happened.

“Buong puso po akong humihing ng kapatawaran sa lahat ng Pilipino, mga kabataan at sa mga ibang lahi na sumusuporta sa Gilas… Taos puso rin akong humihingi ng pasensya sa lahat ng Australians at sa mga players nila.”

But Terrence was quick to stress that he doesn’t regret defending his fellow teammates during that intense situation.

“Sa Gilas kasi hindi lang kami basta magkaka teammates, coaches at  management higit pa dun ang turingan naming isa kaming malaking family sigurado ako na hindi kayo papaya na may manakit sa family nyo.

“Hindi kami proud na nakipag away kami  pero proud kami dahil nag tulungan kami at hindi namin iniwan ang isa’t-isa.”

The Queen of All Media Kris Aquino reacted to Terrence’s post and expressed that she wants to be friends with the PBA cager.
