MANILA, Philippines—Arwind Santos is determined to right his mistakes as he personally apologized to Terrence Jones during shootaround of Game 6 between San Miguel and TNT in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup finals Friday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Santos sought out Jones a few minutes before tip-off to personally seek forgiveness for his racist gestures towards the TNT import that happened in Game 5.

The PBA veteran already said sorry to Jones via a video on social media Thursday night after he was slapped a P200,000 fine and required to do community service and counseling by the PBA.

Santos caused an uproar after he was caught mimicked a monkey while taunting Jones late in the second quarter of Game 5. To make things worse, he defended his action by saying it was just part of “mind games.”
