Yap comes up big
for Chunkee Giants

Don't look now, but controversial Negrense cager James Yap is in the limelight again.

With the 6-foot-2 Yap, who hails from Escalante City, having his breakout year in his sophomore season and the rest of his teammates peaking just in time, Purefoods sits at the top of the San Mig Coffee-Fiesta Conference with a 10-5 record.
