Apparently, after Luis Taruc (leader of the Hukbalahap rebel group) was not allowed to take his seat in the Congress in 1946, Yap did so, but lost this 1949 race to Artemio Macalino. Later Yap became president and operator of the Philippine Harvardian College, an educational institution with its main office in Manila and branches in the provinces. Two of these were the San Fernando Branch in San Fernando, Pampanga, and the St. John's College in Calumpit, Bulacan. ~ In excellent condition w/ a few specks as shown.
