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] In 2025, he ran again for municipal councilor as independent and won.
