CALVIN Abueva said he will be retiring at the end of this PBA season.
Abueva made the announcement when he did a Facebook Live on Wednesday, saying, “sa mga fans ko, next year, hindi na tayo magkikita” while eating inside his car as he interacted with followers watching the stream.
“Kaya i-enjoy niyo na,” Abueva said.
“Reretiro na po tayo next year,” Abueva also said later in the livecast.

The Converge veteran was fined P24,000 for his actions in Game 4 of the PBA 50th Season Governors’ Cup semifinals where he flashed a dirty finger at the Rain or Shine bench, was called for a technical foul, and was penalized for flopping.
If Abueva’s retirement plans are final, the 38-year-old will get a chance to vie for his second PBA title with Converge in the semifinals of the Governors’ Cup against NLEX.
He won his only career PBA championship with Alaska Milk in the 2013 PBA Commissioner's Cup.
