MANILA--Terrence Romeo nabbed the first Accel-PBA Press Corps Player of the Week award for the Commissioner's Cup after a week where he showcased two facets of his game.

After scorching for 41 points in GlobalPort's conference debut against Mahindra, Romeo played more of a facilitator in the team's Valentine's night showdown with Ginebra by dishing out six assists while draining the go-ahead triple inside the final minute of the match.

As the league announced on Monday, Romeo edged out Blackwater's Carlo Lastimosa, who himself had monster scoring stats as well, and Meralco's Cliff Hodge, who became vital in his team's surprise 2-0 start, for the plum.
