HINDI PINALAMPAS NI PARKS ANG ‘KABASTUSAN’ NI ABUEVA

NAGBAGA ang laro sa pagitan ng Phoenix Fuel Masters at ng Blackwater Elite noong Biyernes sa 2019 PBA Commissioner’s Cup. Nag-init ang ulo ni Ray Parks Jr. makaraan umanong bastusin ni Calvin Abueva ang kanyang nobya. “Towards the end, noong lamang na sila. When he got fouled out, he even flicked her off. Called her, ‘What now, (expletive)?’ and then doing this on the bench (masturbating gesture). He even walked up to her and tried to do it again. He did it twice,” ani Parks na lumabas sa ABS-CBN Sports.

Gigil na sinabi ni Parks na hindi niya nakita ang ginawa ni Abueva, pero ipagtatanggol niya ang girlfriend niyang si Maika Rivera. Dahil dito ay pinagmulta ng Phoenix Pulse management si Calvin Abueva mula sa naturang insidente na na-involved ang nobya ni Parks, Jr. May P20,000 ang ipinataw na multa kay Abueva dahil na rin sa naturang pagkakainitan sa pagitan ni Maika Rivera at Abueva.

Sinabi naman ni Abueva na nag-react lang daw siya kay Rivera. “While we stand and support Calvin Abueva in his own right, we cannot deny the situation, that while there may have been provocation per his claims, he could have exercised more prudence and patience,” saad ng Phoenix management sa statement na inilabas sa social media. “As preventive measure, we have decided to deduct P20,000 from the salary of Mr. Abueva, which has been communicated to him and has accepted such decision.”

Halos sumugod si Parks sa dugout ng Phoenix para komprontahin si Abueva. “I was told after the game. If I saw it happen, I’ll be honest with you, I would have got thrown out the game. For real. He’s lucky I didn’t see it,” ani Parks. “That ain’t right. Beyond the game, that’s disrespectful. I wouldn’t call his wife a b-word. That’s messed up.” (MC)
