Couple in Flood Control Scandal Return to DOJ w/ More Proof
FLOOD CONTROL – Contractors Pacifico “Curlee” and Sarah Discaya returned to the Department of Justice (DOJ) over the weekend to submit more evidence in the widening investigation into the alleged flood control fund anomalies.
Curlee Discaya and Sarah visited the DOJ on Saturday afternoon to submit additional pieces of evidence in connection with the alleged irregularities surrounding the government’s flood control projects.
Curlee, who was escorted from the Senate detention facility in Pasay City, appeared calm but did not issue any public statement, merely nodding when asked about his condition. Sarah, on the other hand, chose to remain silent when approached by reporters outside the DOJ premises.
According to reports, the couple’s meeting with DOJ officials lasted approximately three hours. Their legal counsel, who accompanied them during the visit, also declined to provide details regarding the proceedings or the nature of the evidence they turned over. The DOJ likewise did not grant any interviews to the media following the closed-door meeting.
This visit marks the second time the Discayas have visited the DOJ within the past week, as they continue to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. The agency confirmed that its application for inclusion in the Witness Protection Program (WPP) remains under review.
The DOJ is intensifying its efforts to strengthen the case against lawmakers, contractors, and officials from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) allegedly involved in the anomalous flood control projects. These projects have come under scrutiny for suspected overpricing, substandard implementation, and the misuse of public funds.
In a related development, former DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo also returned to the DOJ last Tuesday to assist in the continuing case build-up. His visit is part of the broader probe that runs parallel to investigations being conducted by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure and the Office of the Ombudsman.
Authorities have yet to release specific findings, but the submission of additional evidence by the Discayas is seen as a crucial step in uncovering the extent of corruption in the controversial infrastructure projects. The DOJ has reiterated its commitment to pursuing accountability and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable and brought to justice.
