Get to know the romantic side of your favorite PBA star, Brgy. Ginebra Gin King RJ Abarrientos.
With Ginebra's battle far from over in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup, it would be safe to say that Valentine’s Day was far from prized rookie RJ Abarrientos’ mind.
At least, that was how it was when One Sports had a chitchat with him last Feb. 7.
It’s hard to blame Abarrientos, since the Gin Kings were in the thick of the best-of-three PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals against Meralco then.
Still, the spitfire guard, who is now engaged to model Arlove de Jesus, gamely answered questions on everything love.
One Sports: For you, what is love?
RJ Abarrientos: Love is, I think, sacrifice and give and take for one another.

OS: What is your love language?
RJ: Actually, lahat naman (acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation and physical touch) OK naman sa'kin.

OS: What’s your plan on Valentine’s Day?
RJ: Sa Valentine’s, wala akong plano. May plano akong manalo sa Sunday (in the do-or-die Game 3 battle against Meralco in the quarterfinals last Feb. 13). So, sana, manalo. (smiles)
And win Abarrientos and the Gin Kings did as they prevailed over their playoff rival Bolts, 94-87, to set up a best-of-seven semifinal clash with top-seeded NorthPort beginning Feb. 26 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao.
