Terrence Bill Vitanzos Romeo (born March 16, 1992) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the GlobalPort Batang Pier in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He plays both the point guard and shooting guard positions. His self-confessed moniker is The Golden Boy.
He played as a point guard for the Far Eastern University before being selected fifth overall in the 2013 PBA draft by GlobalPort. He won the 2011 UAAP Rookie of the Year, was a member of the UAAP Mythical Team during his junior and senior year and was the 2014 UAAP men's basketball Most Valuable Player.
Romeo first played for the Letran Squires before he was scouted by Far Eastern University - Diliman. He played only one season as a Baby Tamaraw before graduating to the seniors division. He was famously known for scoring the UAAP Juniors basketball record of 83 points, eclipsing the previous record of 69 points held by former Junior Maroons player Paolo Mendoza.
