Pasig gov’t shuts down 9 Discaya companies
The Pasig City government has issued closure orders against nine companies owned by the controversial private contractor couple Pacifico “Curlee” Discaya II and Cezarah “Sarah” Discaya.
“These establishments were shut down after the City revoked their business permits due to serious and repeated violations,” the Pasig Office of the City Administrator said in a statement on Friday.
The alleged violations included unpaid taxes amounting to over P1.1 billion and operating without an occupancy permit and a revoked license from the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board.
The City Administrator did not specify the nine Discaya-owned companies that were ordered closed.
In a message to the Inquirer later on Friday, the Pasig City public information office said these companies were:
• Alpha and Omega Gen. Contractor & Development Corp.
• St. Gerrard Construction and Development Corp.
• St. Timothy Construction Corp.
• St. Matthew General Contractor and Development Corp.
• Elite General Contractor and Development Corp.
• Amethyst Horizon Builders and General Contractor, and Development Corp.
• YPR General Contractor and Construction Supply Inc.
• Great Pacific Builders and General Contractor Inc.,
• Way Maker One Person Corp.
Curlee Discaya has yet to respond to the Inquirer’s request for comment.
His wife ran for mayor of Pasig in the May 2025 elections but failed to unseat incumbent Mayor Vico Sotto.
A few months later, the Discayas were implicated in alleged anomalies in flood control and other infrastructure projects when the corruption scandal broke out.
On Friday morning, President Marcos announced that the Ombudsman had recommended graft and malversation charges against Sarah Discaya, St. Timothy Construction president Ma. Roma Angeline Rimando and eight Department of Public Works and Highways officials in Davao Occidental.
The Ombudsman filed the cases later on Friday in the Regional Trial Court in Digos City. (See banner story on Page A2)
The charges were related to a ghost P96.5-million flood control project in Barangay Culaman in Davao Occidental’s Jose Abad Santos town.
