With Game Three in its waning seconds and an impending San Miguel win coming, both Arwind Santos and Roger Pogoy shared a brief hug, ending their two-day beef.
“Wala na yun. No comment na ko. Nag-sorry na ko sa kanya at tapos na yun,” said Pogoy, who was fined PHP 30,000 because of the incident, after San Miguel’s 102-88 win.
“Okay na yun tapos na yun. Nagtapikan na nga kami kanina.”
Last Friday, Santos was fuming after an apparent low blow by the TNT rookie that resulted in the latter’s ejection. Though the hit made the former league MVP mad, it was the lack of an apology afterwards that triggered Santos.
But all is now well between the two products of the Far Eastern University.
“Nag-sorry naman siya. Ako naman hinihintay ko lang yung sorry niya,” disclosed Santos, who finished the game with 10 points off the bench.
“Hindi naman ako nagtatanim ng sama ng loob sa mga kapwa kong player tapos taga-FEU rin siya. Alam ko na baka naguluhan lang siya.”
The 11-year veteran also offered some advice for Pogoy, who has struggled in the last two games, shooting a horrid 0-of-13 from the field during that span.
“Hindi ko alam sa kanya [kung paano siya mag-aadjust] pero si Pogoy isa rin siya sa inaasahan ng TNT,” the five-time PBA champion said.
“Siguro nasa kanya yan kung paano siya mag-aadjust. Kailangan alamin niya kung paano i-handle ang ganiyang pressure.”
