Guiao is the current coach and general manager of NLEX Road Warriors of the Philippine Basketball Association.

He previously served as the interim head coach of the Philippine national team.

In an interview, he revealed that he, especially his father was a victim of martial law.

He narrated that it was on the first day of martial law when their house was raided by the military. On the second day of martial law, his father was arrested and imprisoned. He was around 12 or 13-years-old at the time and according to him, it was “traumatic.”

That’s why he is wondering about the positive outlook of netizens today about Martial Law during the Marcos administration.

Meanwhile, Yeng Guiao openly rooted for the candidacy of vice president Leni Robredo, a rival of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

On the other hand, Marcos Jr. is now leading the polls, which is why many members of the opposition are afraid that the brutality of Martial Law in the Philippines may be repeated.

Bongbong Marcos or BBM will run for president in the coming elections together with his runningmate, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio. They will go against the tandem of; Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Doc Willie Ong, Senator Manny Pacquiao and Buhay partylist representative, Lito Atienza as well as Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III.
