Career highlights

Mark P. Macapagal (born September 20, 1979 in Pampanga) is a Filipino former professional basketball player and politician. He last played with the Meralco Bolts. He plays the shooting guard and small forward positions.

Basketball career

After playing in Ginebra where he impressed many with his good outside shooting, Macapagal was involved in a four-team trade that sent him to Coca-Cola.[1]

In the 2009–10 season, he stepped up as the primary scorer for the Coca-Cola Tigers as he averaged 11 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists in 25.5 minutes. However, his performance was not enough for Coca-Cola to advance to the playoffs.

Political career

Macapagal ran for municipal councilor in his native San Simon, Pampanga in 2019 and won.[2] In 2020, Pampanga governor Dennis Pineda placed Macapagal, 5 other councilors, and the municipal mayor under preventive suspension for anomalies in regards to the town's purchase of land near the municipal hall.[3] In 2022, Macapagal ran for vice mayor but was defeated.[4] In 2024, the Department of the Interior and Local Government ordered Macapagal to pay fines equivalent to the six month salaries due to simple neglect of duty and simple misconduct.[5]
