Basketball star Terrence Romeo, known for his flashy moves and clutch performances on the court, has playfully entertained the idea of trying his luck in show business. But is this just lighthearted banter, or could the three-time PBA champion actually carve out a second career in entertainment?
During a recent press conference for his endorsement deal with online gaming brand ABC VIP, Terrence was asked about potential acting opportunities. His response was succinct: “I don’t think I know how to act.”
If given the chance, would he be open to working with Vice Ganda?
Terrence simply answered, “Why not? Who am I to say no?”
Vice Ganda and Terrence have long been the subject of rumors about a past romantic relationship, but both have publicly denied the speculation.
Terrence admitted he’s never tested his acting chops but expressed interest in action roles or villainous characters—a natural fit for his confident, sometimes polarizing public persona. When comedy was suggested, he didn’t rule it out either.
Still, the 33-year-old star player quickly tempered expectations, joking that the line of questioning was getting “too intense” for his recent return to the public eye.
His cautious approach suggests he’s aware of the risks. After all, he’s still focused on his basketball career with the PBA’s Terrafirma Dyip, where he remains a key player.
But as we all know, Terrence is no stranger to controversy. In 2022, his name was dragged into legal issues involving his ex-wife, leading to heavy online criticism.
“I’ve experienced a lot of bashing, but what affected me the most were the baseless ones,” he said. “People jump to conclusions as if they were there.”
“In fact, I was the one deceived, the one who lost money, the one who was pushed into investments. Many people helped me, like my former boss, Boss RSA. I owe him a lot because I’ve proven that I never talked to or deceived anyone just to profit from them. Those hurtful comments affected my life, even though I had no part in it,” he said in the vernacular.
Though currently off the court, Terrence remains hopeful that his basketball career will continue smoothly. And since his contract with Terrafirma is ending this August, he’s already planning his next career move.
“I’m doing okay right now. I’m just focused on myself, my family, and my career. I have options on where I can play or what direction my career might take,” Terrence explained. “Hopefully, there will still be new opportunities to play in the PBA or elsewhere.”
