Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto cautioned the public about what he described as a “pity-driven narrative” being pushed by Sarah and Curlee Discaya, as the Senate continues its probe into irregularities surrounding flood control projects.
According to Mayor Sotto in a Facebook post, it’s clear that the Discayas are trying to become state witnesses to avoid charges, even though their statements have shown multiple inconsistencies.
For instance, they claimed they only earned 2–3% per project, saying they’d be lucky to make 5%. Yet in a separate interview, they boasted about being billionaires with “11-digit” wealth, meaning at least ₱10 billion.
“Obviously there are congressmen, DPWH officials, and contractors who are guilty. But the Spouses Discaya are clearly angling to become STATE WITNESS. Para di sila makulong. We know they are capable of lying (just go back to their campaign period videos and posts).
Today in the Senate hearing, I noticed many inconsistencies in their statement. Yung pinaka obvious na lang munang halimbawa ng kasinungalingan–
🔴 Sabi ni Mistermind Curlee “2-3% lang” ng contract cost ang kita nila kada project.. “swerte na” daw kung 5%. Sa ibang project lugi pa daw sila (wow).
– Taliwas ito sa statement nila sa isang interview, kung saan sinabi nilang bilyonaryo sila at nasa “11 digits” na daw ang pera nila. Meaning AT LEAST ₱10 BILLION…
– Dahil PAANO KA MAGIGING BILYONARYO NA GANUN SA 2-3% PROFIT?
Presidente na mismo ang nakakita sa ghost project nila. Sinong gagawa ng ganun kalaking krimen para sa 2-3% na kita? Wag tayong magpauto sa mga paawa effect nila… Wala daw silang magawa??
The challenge is now how to sift through the half-truths and attempts to mislead us, not only of the spouses discaya but of everyone involved.
May we be vigilant and discerning.
