TATAKBO bilang konsehal ang basketbolistang si James Yap sa San Juan City.
Kinumpirma ito ni Mayor Francis Zamora. Aniya, kasama sa kaniyang tiket si Yap na manlalaro ngayon ng Rain or Shine Elasto Painters sa PBA.
“When he helped me in previous elections, nakita ko ‘yung enthusiasm niya to serve,” ani Zamora.
“A lot of people idolize him, especially the youth. He came from humble beginnings. He himself is a success story. ‘Yung ganoong life story is a source of inspiration. That I feel is his biggest strength. He can be a big influence in our anti-drug programs and advocacies for the younger generation,” dagdag pa ng mayor.
Bukod kay Yap, ilang basketbolista rin ang pasok sa slate ni Zamora na tatakbo muli sa pagka-alkalde sa San Juan.
Kakandidato ang mga dating PBA players na sina Paul Artadi at Don Allado.
