                    [Title] => Puyat stays as legitimate BAP head
                    [Summary] => The recent decision by the Court of Appeals nullifying Quintellano "Tiny" Literal’s election as BAP president has left Gonzalo "Lito" Puyat as the legitimate, rightful head of the local basketball body, and might soon force the FIBA to lift its suspension on the BAP simply because there’s nothing more to deliberate on.

Literal, who claims to be the rightful BAP head and not Gonzalo "Lito" Puyat, yesterday said not sending a cage team to the bennial meet where the Philippines is the defending champion will save the country from further embarrassment.
