“He tells me his experiences, he shares them to me and I’m willing to listen to him because, of course, that’s Terrence Romeo. We know what a Kuya Terrence is capable of.”
Nonoy barely got his minutes in Dyip’s loss to Eastern but he was intently watching from the bench as Romeo and other Terrafirma guards went to work.
The UAAP champion was the sole scoreless player from the Terrafirma side but he had ample lessons learned from guards Romeo, Stanley Pringle and fellow La Salle alum Aljun Melecio.

“I’m thankful that they’re there. I hope they guide me more, especially since I’m a rookie. Aljun’s there too, Kuya Stanley as well, so it’s all okay.”
Pringle flirted with a triple-double of 16 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Melecio and Romeo, meanwhile, dropped 17 and eight points, respectively, all while Nonoy was relishing his older brothers take the court.
