Tim Yap (born Timothy Yap; January 17, 1977) is a Filipino TV and radio host, newspaper editor, columnist, club owner and eventologist from Manila, Philippines. He also owns several clubs in the Philippines. He currently hosts The Tim Yap Show which airs weeknights on GMA-7, edits a pop culture section of the The Philippine Star entitled "Supreme", and hosts the morning radio talk The Playground on 99.5 PLAYFM with Sam Oh and Nikko Ramos.
Early life and career
While attending high school at Saint Jude Catholic School, he won the lead role in a show to mark the 25th anniversary of the Repertory Philippines, but his parents and his school didn’t allow him to go, so he attended rehearsals in secret, informing the school security guard that he had the permission of his teacher and principal to leave school.[4][5] "My parents had no clue that I was going to Repertory," he said. "All along they thought that I was just attending a rehearsal for a school play until they read about it in the newspapers." After several roles for young characters, Yap continued on as a production intern for repertory plays just to be involved. He eventually evolved into an events producer, which led him to be sought after to handle product launches and fashion shows.[4]
Yap graduated from De La Salle University with a bachelor's degree in marketing, and later on received his masters degree in entrepreneurship from the Asian Institute of Management.[1] He edited the "Super" section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, and then left the Inquirer to start the "Supreme" section of the Philippine Star.[3][6]
On January 21, 2013, The Tim Yap Show premiered on GMA-7, with Yap as the host of the self-entitled showbiz-oriented program.[2] Aside from television appearances, he presently hosts the morning radio talk The Playground on 99.5 PLAYFM with Sam Oh and Nikko Ramos.[3]
Awards
In 2007 and again 2008, he received the PMPC Star Awards for TV Best Lifestyle Show Hosts award with Raymond Gutierrez and Issa Litton for Living It Up.[7][8] In 2009, he also won the same award but with co-host Sam Oh for Events Inc..[9]
Business
Yap's entrepreneurial ventures have included his own line of watches, t-shirts and fragrances,[4], as well as ownership in several clubs in Metro Manila, Angeles City, and Boracay.
In 2005, Yap became a co-owner of Embassy Superclub with Eric Cua, Jon Herrera and Fernando Aracama.[12][13] It closed in August 2009 and then re-opened as Encore, having since closed its doors. In 2010, Yap, Cua and Aracama opened Republiq SuperClub at Resorts World Manila in Pasay City.[13] Republiq has recently been recognized as one of the top 100 clubs in the world by DJ Mag.[14]
Yap currently co-owns Opus Restaurant and Lounge, at Resorts World Manila, Manor SuperClub in Eastwood, Quezon City, Aracama's Filipino Cuisine and Draft Gastropub, both in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, with Draft having a second location in Rockwell Center, Makati City, Mansion Club in Angeles City, Pampanga, and The Tides Hotel in Boracay.[16]
