As others might have thought that the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) is gone but the contrary proved them wrong as the national governing body of basketball is alive and kicking.

The strength of the national basketball federation was manifested when its executive board convened and elected Prospero “Butch” Pichay to the presidency.  The election of the former congressman was ratified during the national congress held on December 12 at the IRTC of the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) along Ayala Boulevard in Manila.

In his acceptance speech, “he would like to do a good role as a working leader and not just as a paper president.  I would not be confrontational in tackling the problems besetting by the BAP.  But I would rally behind with all your support to bring back our country to where it was in the 50’s and 60’s.”

Furthermore he said, “In regaining lost glory in basketball I want it done the Filipino way.  Just as those times when the likes of Jun Papa and Bogs Adornado burned the hoop with shots from way out.”
Currently the former solon also heads the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) and the Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP).

Aside from Pichay, other significant personalities who were in attendance of the said congress were Rep. Luis Villafuerte, chairman of the BAP, Gov. Douglas Ra. Cagas, vice chairman; Trisha Abundo, Vice chairman; Christian Tan, executive vice president; Wilson Young, vice president for Luzon; Mayor Senen Sarmiento, vice president for the Visayas; Tony Fabico, treasurer; and Graham C Lim, the ever workhorse secretary general.

The election of Pichay came into being because of the resignation Go Teng Kok.
