The PBA Commissioner’s Office quickly addressed the situation. In an official statement, Commissioner Willie Marcial said,
“Such a malicious and unfounded accusation against our referees cannot go unpunished.”
He described Abueva’s statement as,
“Tantamount to conduct detrimental to the best interests of the league.”
Abueva was fined P20,000, to be remitted within fifteen days. Despite the sanction, he took to social media, sharing the post with a humorous caption:
“Bwahaha baka maunahan pa ayan paldo na.”
When a netizen called him “bobo,” he replied,
“Aki bobo? Kayo na ang bobo. Alam n’yo guys, kung bobo ako, wala ako sa PBA.”
He also hinted during his Facebook live at a strong return:
“Hintayin ninyo ang pagbabalik ko. Hintayin ninyo lang. Bigyan ninyo ako ng timing.”
At the same time, he showed respect for Commissioner Marcial:
“Si Kume, idol yan. Mabait yan. Wala akong masabi. Ginagawa lang niya ang trabaho niya bilang commissioner. Pero si Kume, wala po ako masabi diyan. Saludo po ako diyan. Boss, sorry po.”
Fans are now eagerly anticipating how “The Beast” plans his comeback, curious to see how he will handle criticism while maintaining his competitive edge in the league.
