With his Terrafirma contract set to expire in August, Terrence Romeo is open to explore his options abroad while maintaining the PBA as his main priority.
Is Terrence Romeo staying in the PBA or taking his talents elsewhere?
If it were up to him, Romeo would like to continue playing in the league that made him the star player that he is now.
But with his contract with the Terrafirma Dyip expiring in August, his immediate future in the PBA remains up in the air.
“Hindi pa ako kumakausap sa mga PBA teams. Kasi wala ako ngayong agent eh. Ako lang talaga kumakausap. Tignan ko anong mangyayari, kung anong maganda,” Romeo said during an event with ABCVIP.

If the PBA is no longer viable, there’s also the option for Romeo to follow in the footsteps of other Filipino ballers who made their way to the Japan B.LEAGUE or the Korean Basketball League.
Romeo, who is still recovering from a knee injury, refused to name teams that fielded possible offers.
Nevertheless, the three-time PBA champion and former Finals Most Valuable Player made it clear his priority is staying put.
“Meron talagang offer overseas. Pero priority ko talga gusto ko muna mag-try dito satin, sa PBA. Gusto ko mag try na alam mo yun, kumausap, kung merong interested, kung magkakasundo. Kung alam kong fit ako sa kanila, makakatulong ako sa kanila, magtitiwala sila sakin,” he said.
“Kailangan mo lang naman may tao na magtitiwala sayo. Nagtitiwala sa capability mo, sa kakayahan mo. Ganun lang yun.”

If nothing goes his way here, that’s when the three-time PBA Scoring Champion will explore his options overseas.
“Kung wala talaga, wala tayong magagawa kung wala talaga. Kailangan mo talaga humanap ng way san ako pwede maglaro. Kasi gusto ko pa maglaro eh. Masyado pa maaga for me na mag stop,” Romeo said.
