Calvin Abueva has once again exhibited inappropriate behavior, this time insulting the appearance of San Miguel Beermen head coach Jorge Gallent, referring to his cross-eyed (banlag) condition.
In the fourth quarter of the Beermen’s 109-85 Game 2 victory on Sunday night, Abueva was caught making gestures towards his eyes after receiving a technical foul for a verbal altercation with coach Gallent.
PBA fans, witnessing Abueva’s gesture, expressed their displeasure on social media, condemning the insult as “below the belt.”
Below the belt naman 'yung pang-aasar ni Abueva kay Coach Jeorge. Tsk tsk

Si Abueva hindi na natuto, bastos pa rin sa loob ng court. Di magandang ehemplo sa mga batang nanunuod.

Coach Jorge, if you're gonna retaliate to Abueva's insult, please use the ipot sa ulo gesture. It will fuck him up real bad.

Nahuli si Calvin Abueva sa camera mocking Jorge Gallent who has a problem with his right eye. Tama ba yon?

In 2019, the PBA imposed an indefinite suspension on Abueva, then with the Phoenix Fuel Masters, for clotheslining TNT Tropang Giga import Terrence Jones and a verbal altercation with actress Maika Rivera, then-girlfriend of former PBA player Bobby Ray Parks Jr.
The Pampanga native’s suspension was lifted 16 months later, during the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup bubble.
Abueva and the Hotshots now trail 0-2 in the best-of-seven championship series following the Beermen’s dominant win.
