PBA: Calvin Abueva sums up Converge slump with ‘Olats’ lyric

MANILA, Philippines–Calvin Abueva had a perfect way to sum up another Converge defeat in the 2026 PBA Governors’ Cup.

“Ganyan talaga, talo na naman tayo,” Abueva said while being serenaded by San Miguel Beer fans before the end of Converge’s 126-114 defeat on Wednesday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The lines came from the OPM song “Olats” by Rivermaya, a fitting reference to what was another frustrating night for the talent-stacked FiberXers.

It was the fourth straight loss for Converge after starting the conference with third consecutive victories.

Converge kept itself within distance for the first two quarters, before San Miguel turned on the jets in the third.

Abueva had his best game at this point of the conference with 26 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks.

It was, however, not enough to lift Converge out of its slump.
