After creating such controversy, Allado has deleted his tweets against the basketball league.
“I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to Comm Salud & entire PBA for last night’s tweets that’s now a subject of controversy,” Don said.
“It was an error in judgement on my part to let my passion for this game get the best of me. As a professional I should’ve known better.”

PBA Comissioner Chito Salud Reacts
“He is certainly way out of line. He is indicting not just the game officials, but the entire organization and membership of the league, his co-players and team officials alike. This is a serious accusation, and I don’t intend to take it lightly.”
