                    [Summary] => 

Veteran stockbroker Felipe Yap, who first gained prominence as a leader in the mining industry, overwhelmingly won the nod of Philippine Stock Exchange members yesterday to lead the new board of governors.

Yesterday's election results showed Yap, who represents his own F. Yap Securities Inc., garnered the most number of votes among the 20 broker-candidates and was unchallenged in the post of chairman.

As the new PSE chairman, Yap replaces Ma. Trinidad Kalaw of First Orient Securities, whose term was capped by the controversy over gaming stock BW Resources.
