Legislative record
Accountability & legal records
This is not a “clean record” certification. It means no case has been entered and verified in this database yet. Check the Office of the Ombudsman, Sandiganbayan, and Supreme Court directly.
In the News
Reports from established newsrooms and official records that name this official in a case, investigation, audit or controversy. Each item links to the original. Being named in the news is not proof of wrongdoing; check the legal records above for the official status of any case.
Pulse check
Do you approve of how Beboy Yap is doing the job?
Pulse check, not a scientific survey: anyone can vote once per device and change their vote any time. It shows how site visitors feel, not public opinion as a whole, and says nothing about any case or allegation.

Campaign promises
LGU recognitions during their term (1)
Awarded to the LGU while Beboy Yap was mayor. These are not personal awards: the seal or award goes to the local government unit, which includes the work of its staff, council and partners.
Recognitions are given to the local government unit, not to a person. An official is shown only as being in office when the LGU was recognized. Matched by office and year from election records (in office on 1 December of the award year). Sources & method →

A transparent composite of measurable public-service indicators. It does not measure personal integrity, and unproven allegations are never used as a penalty. Weights are demonstration settings you can change.
