MANILA - His team may have lost the game, but Calvin Abueva sure felt the love and support of his friends.

"It's Showtime" host Vice Ganda, together with Ryan Bang and Karylle, supported Abueva on Friday's PBA quarterfinals game Between Phoenix Fuel Masters and Meralco Bolts at the Araneta Coliseum.

Meralco pulled off an improbable 108-103 overtime win to unseat a second-seeded Phoenix in the PBA Governors Cup.

After the match, Abueva was seen taking off his jersey and giving it to Vice.
