JAMES YAP, MAY ‘THE SECOND’ BA?

SOLO flight sa political journey si veteran cager JAMES CARLOS AGRAVANTE YAP mula sa filing of candidacy sa second term bilang city councilor ng San Juan, National Capital Region (NCR) to other related significant activities. Pansamantalang nasa Long Distance Relationship (LDR) siya sa pamilya, nasa Italy ang 2nd wife na si MICHELA CAZZOLA with two kids, MICHAEL and FRANCHESCA.

Di nga ba, may fake news pa sa social media na hiwalay na si ‘Big Game’ JAMES kay MICHELA dahil sa LDR set up nila? Open book naman na ikinasal si JAMES kay former presidential daughter/sister KRISTINA BERNADETTE COJUANGCO AQUINO leading to annulment eventually?

Si JAMES YAP JR. aka BABY JAMES or BIMBY ang lone child nila na copycat ni JAMES na habang nagbibinata ay may Aquino feature na rin. As a teener, now around 17 y/o, hindi nakitaan ng basketball shadow ang bagets dahil kay KRIS lumaki, sa showbiz circle ng tinaguriang ‘Queen of All Media’.

Wait lang, kamukha rin ni BIMBY si MICHAEL na firstborn naman ni JAMES kay MICHELA. Sino raw kaya ang lalabas na JAMES YAP II, meron ba? Walang distinct news if may inclination sa basketball ang second son ni JAMES todate.

May monicker na ‘Big Game’ si Konsi JAMES sa pro league PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (PBA) dahil sa description (hyperbole) na million moves, napakaraming galawan sa loob ng hardcourt. Umani ng million fans and followers, sa charisma as a good-looking fellow from UE RED WARRIORS to WELCOAT PAINTMASTERS sa PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL LEAGUE (PBL) amateur level, finally elevated sa PBA becoming a starcager ng PUREFOODS/SAN MIGUEL CORPORATION (SMC}.

Bukod sa maraming championships na hatid ni JAMES sa team, top sa list ang naisubing 2x MOST VALUABLE PLAYER (MVP) titles, treasured starcager ng UE RED WARRIORS, PBL/WELCOAT PAINTMASTERS, PBA/SMC PUREFOODS at RAIN OR SHINE, his last team turned pro sa PBA na dating WELCOAT sa PBL

Frustration ng million fans na hindi umabot sa retirement period ni Big Game sa cherished team PUREFOODS, on alleged misunderstanding with a team official leading to his trade to ROS. Well highest regards naman ang hatid ng ROS with his throngs of fans and followers.

Effective ang achievement and popularity, kind heart with charisma and will to serve, wagi ang venture ni JAMES sa councilor’s seat with former LA SALLE starcager Mayor FRANCIS ZAMORA along with other cager-councilors PAUL ARTADI and DON ALLADO among others. With his achievements topped by inclusion in the PBA 40 GREATS, kaabang-abang, may susunod ba sa footsteps ni BIG GAME JAMES sa dalawang copycat sons? Malabo raw kay BIMBY, how about MICHAEL? Well, let’s wait and see!
