Terrence Romeo is returning to 3×3 basketball, joining Manila Melmac in the FIBA 3×3 Manila Challenger on September 20-21 at Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque.

The 5-foot-11 guard last saw action in the halfcourt game 10 years ago when he suited up for Manila West in the World Tour, also on home soil. His comeback was made possible through the support of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, led by executive director Erika Dy, and Melmac Sports founder Mel Macasaquit.

“Unang-una, tumawag sa akin si Kuya Mel na kung puwede akong maglaro sa 3×3. Actually, two days, sa September 20 and 21, so sabi ko kay kuya Mel, 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, September 10.

Romeo grateful for friendship and second chance

“Sabi ko sa kanya, babalik din ako, kasi dahil sa pagkakaibigan namin. Actually, matagal kaming hindi nagkita ni kuya Mel pero iyong pagkakaibigan namin, laging nandoon. So, tumatanaw lang din ako ng utang na loob kay kuya Mel and isa rin siya sa kumbaga unang-unang nag-reach out sa akin kung puwede ba akong mag-comeback sa 3×3. Ten years ago na iyong last na laro ko sa 3×3 and excited ako ulit na maglaro para sa country natin,” Romeo shared.

Romeo will join forces with Mac Tallo, Abdul Sawat, and Henry Iloka, with Chico Lanete serving as head coach.

“Asahan ng fans na ibibigay ko iyong best ko,” Romeo said. “Gagawin ko iyong best ko para makatulong sa team and hopefully, makuha namin iyong goal namin.”
