Manila, Philippines – Terrence Romeo returns to the hard court wherein he will join Manila Melmac to represent the Philippines in the FIBA 3X3 Manila Challenger.
It’s been a decade since his last appearance in a 3×3 basketball setting, but there is no doubt in his skills and what he can contribute on the court.
Romeo is known for his nasty crossovers, leaving his defenders behind and confused as to which direction he will go — we will finally see those once again in their following games.
He was recruited by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), in which MelMac Sports founder Mel Macasaquit called him and asked if he wanted to play in the tournament — and he easily answered yes.
“Unang-una, tumawag sa akin si Kuya Mel na kung puwede akong maglaro sa 3×3… kung para sa bayan maglalaro ako and hindi ko kailangan ng any offer or what basta para sa bayan, I’m available kapag kailangan ako,” Romeo said during the team’s practice in Mandaluyong on Wednesday.
The roster of Manila Melmac for the 3×3 will be: Mac Tallo, Abdul Sawat, and Henry Iloka. Their coach will be Chico Lanete.
The competition will be held on September 20-21 at Ayala Malls Manila Bay.—Kyle Basa, Eurotv News
