MANILA, Philippines – Missing three of Gilas Pilipinas' game in the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers, the longing was more than clear in Terrence Romeo's eyes.
When the Nationals fell to a 16-point rut in the first quarter of their game against Japan, in front of a frenzied bunch of compatriots, the hotshot scorer shared that there's a pestering itch of hitting Mall of Arena's parquet floor to help Gilas get going.
We talked to the beloved cager himself. Listen to what he's got to say. Oh, and if you're wondering about his injury's status and the chances of seeing action in the third window, do watch:
