While in college, he took his talents in the PBA D-League, suiting up for Big Chill Super Chargers.

1931

What's more impressive, is that he did it in 31 minutes of playing time, scoring 33 points in the 3rd quarter alone.

1992

Terrence Bill Vitanzos Romeo (born March 16, 1992) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the San Miguel Beermen of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

He plays both the point guard and shooting guard positions.

2003

He scored 30 points in three games during the course of the season, making him one of only three players since 2003 (the other 2 being Patrick Cabahug and Bobby Ray Parks Jr..) to score 30 points more than once.

In UAAP Season 76, he was awarded as Most Valuable Player.

He became only the third guard to win the award following Garcia and PBA legend Johnny Abarrientos.

2009

He won the UAAP Juniors' Most Valuable Player (2009) that same year, with averages of 37.1 ppg, 4.1 apg and 4.0 spg.

It was a bit of a rocky transition from the juniors to the seniors division for Romeo.

Although he was named the top rookie, sharing the court with then UAAP MVP RR Garcia proved challenging for the younger guard, especially since he was relegated to the second option (something he wasn't used to).

Romeo's shooting percentage was somewhat below par at 32 percent, scoring a mere (for his standards) 9.9 points in his rookie season.

The following season seemed to fare better for the scoring guard.

He averaged 11.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 3.2 apg.

Both him and Garcia formed a formidable duo.

They carried FEU to the finals, only to lose in a best of 3 series against Ateneo.

In UAAP Season 75 Romeo became (arguably) the first option of the team.

He improved as a more potent scorer after last year's heartbreaking loss, averaging a team best 18.5 ppg, and 5.5 rpg.

His impressive performance landed him a spot in the mythical five.

In his final year as half of FEU's dreaded backcourt duo, Romeo was expected to again lead the Tamaraws in scoring.

2010

He won the 2010 UAAP Rookie of the Year, was a member of the UAAP Mythical Team during his junior and senior years, and was the 2013 UAAP men's basketball Most Valuable Player.

Romeo first played for the Letran Squires before he was scouted by Far Eastern University - Diliman.

He played only one season as a Baby Tamaraw before graduating to the seniors division.

He was famously known for scoring the UAAP Juniors basketball record of 83 points, eclipsing the previous record of 69 points held by former Junior Maroons player Paolo Mendoza.

2013

He played as a point guard for the Far Eastern University before being selected fifth overall in the 2013 PBA draft by Barako Bull.

2015

He elected to forgo his final playing year, after realizing that he will have to wait until 2015 to get drafted in the PBA.

Romeo was selected by GlobalPort as their 5th overall pick, and wore the same number 7 jersey he wore in college.

He explained that Robert Jaworski was his father's idol, who uses the same jersey number.

In only his second game as a pro, he buried 34 points while going 6-of-8 from beyond the three-point arc en route to a win against Air21 Express.

He also had the opportunity to play against Mark Caguioa in their first showdown against each other, scoring 27 points and leading a brave second-half comeback that almost denied Ginebra a 109–104 victory.

Caguioa, who scored 29 points himself, commented that Romeo was the closest player that can be compared to him.

The rookie guard later admitted that Caguioa was one of his idols growing up.

With these performances, the former king tamaraw proved to be a very capable scorer as a pro.

Showing flashes of brilliance throughout the season.

But he struggled with consistency, as he wasn't able to produce the same eye-popping numbers in the later conferences.

Regardless, he was considered a rising star, dazzling the crowd with his dribbling skills and scoring prowess.

At the start of the season, Romeo debuted a slimmer and leaner physique.

Losing a total of 25 pounds.

He said “Sobrang nahihirapan ‘yung tuhod ko, sobrang nahihirapan akong gumalaw,” prompting him to lose the unwanted weight.

This resulted in a much quicker and more explosive version of himself.
