DILG: No security risk to Sarah Discaya
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) maintains that government contractor Sarah Discaya faces no security risks, despite her surrender to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in anticipation of arrest warrants.
Discaya is facing graft and malversation charges in connection with an alleged P96.5-million ghost project in Davao Occidental.
DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla has been coordinating with the Secretary of Justice regarding the legal procedures, expressing confidence in the security of jail facilities.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. had previously announced charges against Discaya, St. Timothy Corporation executive Ma. Roma Angeline Rimando, and several Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials.
Rimando and the DPWH officials involved in the Davao Occidental case have also surrendered.
Discaya's lawyer had characterized her surrender to NBI custody as a strategic legal maneuver.
