Poy Erram and Glenn Khobuntin let bygones be bygones and went on to work together to help TNT secure a Game 4 win over Rain or Shine in the PBA semifinals.
Poy Erram bared he already apologized to teammate Glenn Khobuntin and the rest of TNT after a heated exchange in Game 3 of their PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup semifinals against Rain or Shine last Sunday, March 2.
Erram also added that he also said sorry to Khobuntin's wife.
“Nag-apologize ako kay Glenn at saka sa whole team. After the game, lumapit ako sa wife niya. Nag-apologize ako kasi mali 'yung ginawa ko. Pangit tingnan, eh.”
Erram and Khobuntin engaged in a shouting match with 18 seconds left in the first half.
That happened when Erram was trying to plead his case with the referees and Khobuntin was trying to pacify him.

Erram admitted he was in the wrong.
“Ganoon lang talaga. Siyempre, gustong manalo. Competitive. Ang mali ko lang, at the moment, I wasn't thinking about the game. I was thinking about myself. Blackout na ako. Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang nangyayari,” he said.

The two Cagayan de Oro natives have patched up since then.
Erram added they were back to normal even in practice the following day.
“Wala, normal lang sa mga Bisaya. After noon, kalokohan pa rin, lokohan pa rin. Kaya 'yung mga sinasabi ng ibang tao, normal lang 'yun. 'Di ko naman pinaniniwalaan 'yun. Hayaan mo silang magsalita. Basta kami ni Glenn, OK naman kami. Wala kaming problema,” said Erram.
Erram, Khobuntin and the rest of the Tropang Giga went on to regroup and struck the Elasto Painters back in Game 4 for a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
TNT will look to finish off Rain or Shine in Game 5 on Friday, March 7, at the same venue.
