James Yap and the Azkals were among the awardees at the 2011 Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA)-Coca Cola Awards held at the Manila Hotel last weekend.
Azkals' team manager Dan Stephen Palami also received an award, as Executive of the Year.
The Philippine football team, who has also brought honors for the country in 2010, was not the one named as Athletes of the Year, the highest award being given by the PSA and was won by boxing icon Manny Pacquiao 5 times already.
This year's Athlete of the Year award is shared by four athlethes who have also won in international competitions. Those four recipients are all deserving though.
Pacquiao, who's now a PSA Hall of Famer, also graced the event as guest speaker and took part in handing out the awards.
