Metro Manila, Philippines – Private contractor Sarah Discaya has lost the license of her nine construction firms as the government cracks down on alleged anomalies in infrastructure projects that involve billions in public funds.

In a resolution dated Sept. 1, the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) revoked the license of nine construction firms owned or controlled by Discaya.

These were:
+ St. Gerrard Construction Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation
+ Alpha & Omega Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation
+ St. Timothy Construction Corporation
+ Amethyst Horizon Builders And Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corp.
+ St. Matthew General Contractor & Development Corporation
+ Great Pacific Builders And General Contractor, Inc.
+ YPR General Contractor And Construction Supply, Inc.
+ Way Maker OPC
+ Elite General Contractor And Development Corp.

The agency’s website also showed that their licenses were withdrawn as of Sept. 1. 

Discaya, a losing Pasig mayoralty candidate, is among the top contractors who secured billions of flood control projects over the past three years — the subject of a public audit ordered by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. 

In a Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing, Discaya confirmed that the nine companies are owned jointly by her and other family members. She also admitted that their firms would sometimes bid for the same government projects.
