And his concert on Valentines&#x27; Day delivered that in troves, exchanging banter with the likes of fellow stand-up Chokoleit and child protege Awra Briguela that had most of the sold-out crowd in fits of laughter. </p><p>Add to that his bombast stage performances and the night was pretty much run-of-the-mill stuff from the comedian. </p><p>But the fact that fans have come to expect more of the same from him made his emotionally high-strung monologue midway through about his heartbreaking experience of loving a basketball player all the more unusual and notable. </p><p>His eight-minute spoken word performance, which he said took him months to write, was filled with telling allusions that many speculated was about his rumored relationship with Terrence Romeo, who now plays for GlobalPort Batang Pier in the PBA. </p><p>For one, he said that this player used to call him &quot;Juliet&quot; and was known for his crossovers, which Romeo is famed for. He also revealed that they used to hide their gay relationship from the public because it wasn&#x27;t socially accepted. </p><p>&quot;Gusto sana natin magkasama tayong dalawa sa siksikan, sa bawat laro mo, sa bawat three points mo, gusto ko sanang nandoon ako para magpalakpakan at gusto kong isigaw na, &#x27;P**ang i*a, jowa ko iyan.&#x27; Pero hindi natin magawa kasi natatakot tayong parehong mapaguspan,&quot; Vice Ganda said at one point. </p><p>&quot;Kaya kahit pareho tayong nagtagumpay, pareho tayong talunan. Ang sakit,&quot; he added. </p><p>Vice Ganda continued by saying that he was devastated when they decided to break-up. &quot;Hindi niyo alam kung gaano kasakit. Kapag naalala ko para akong namamatay sa sakit,&quot; he admitted. </p><p>After the performance, Vice Ganda walked down the stage teary-eyed. But in a backstage interview, he said: &quot;It was just an act-- one of the many acts I did a while ago.&quot;</p><p>Back in 2014, rumors were rife about Vice Ganda and Romeo&#x27;s relationship after the former posted a cryptic breakup tweet that emphasized the letters T and R, which fans believe are the initials of the the basketball star. </p><p>Both, however, denied the rumors. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/02/15/17/recap-vice-gandas-valentine-concert-has-both-kilig-and-hugot">HIGHLIGHTS: Vice Ganda&#x27;s Valentine concert has both &#x27;kilig&#x27; and &#x27;hugot&#x27;</a></li></ul><p>On Tuesday, Romeo <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/02/15/17/tingnan-pba-star-terrence-romeo-nagdeklarang-off-the-market-na-siya">announced</a> on social media that he is &quot;officially off the market&quot; as he posted a photo of what looks like an engagement ring.</p>
