Terrence Romeo was nothing but grateful as he leaves the confines of GlobalPort.

In a lengthy post on his Instagram account, the three-time Scoring Champion expressed gratitude for his five-year stay with the Batang Pier, who drafted him as the fifth overall pick in the 2013 PBA Draft.

“I would like to thank God because He gave me a good start in the PBA through GlobalPort.”

The former FEU stalwart also gave thanks to the management, headed by owner Mikee Romero, as well as the team managers, the head coaches he played for, and the GlobalPort fans for supporting him.

“If not for you, I won’t be where I am today. It has been truly an era and I am grateful for all my experiences and lessons I learned,” he wrote.

First of all, I would like to thank God dahil binigyan nya ko ng magandang simula sa PBA thru GlobalPort. Kay Boss Mikee, salamat po sa suporta mula ng mag umpisa ako. Sa mga naging team managers namin salamat sa pag uunawa at magandang pakitungo sakin at sa lahat ng naging coach ko, lalo na kay Coach Franz and Coach Riche Ticzon and Coach Eric Gonzales, andame ko po natutunan sainyo. Sa iba pang mga coaching staff at mga ballboys na naghihirap para gumaan ang practice at laro namin, salamat sa lahat. To all the fans of GPBP na walang sawang nanunuod at sumusuporta. Kung di dahil sainyo, wala rin ako sa kinatatayuan ko. It has been truly an era and I am grateful sa lahat ng experience at lessons na natutunan ko. Maraming Salamat, GlobalPort and sa Neon Nation! God bless us all… On to the next! 👊🙏

Romeo was shipped to TNT on Tuesday, together win Yousef Taha in exchange for Mo Tautuaa, and the KaTropa’s 2020 first round pick and a 2021 second round pick.

Curiously, Romeo didn’t mention current head coach Pido Jarencio.

Romeo and Jarencio engaged in a heated exchange during a timeout in GlobalPort’s 79-86 quarterfinals defeat to Magnolia in the 2018 PBA Philippine Cup.
