PBA star Calvin Abueva packed his gear and biked around his hometown Pampanga in observance of Maundy Thursday's Visita Iglesia.

Abueva braved the summer heat and took to social media his biking journey amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the churches are obviously closed, the Magnolia forward still found ways to strengthen his faith in these trying times while keeping a healthy body and mind.

The 33-year-old Angeles-native visited Santa Rita De Cascia Parish, Immaculate Conception Church, Betis Church - Saint James the Apostle Parish, San Guillermo Parish Church, Holy Rosary Parish Church and Sacred Heart Parish Church.

Abueva is known for being vocal about his faith on social media, especially during the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup bubble where the veteran forward can be seen taking videos of a church they are passing by from Quest Hotel to the Angeles University Foundation Sports and Cultural Center.

He is also among the many PBA players who are bike enthusiasts or found their new hobby in biking in the coronavirus era.

Meanwhile, as of March 31, there are 1,558 active cases of COVID-19 in the province placed under modified general community quarantine.
