Discaya among contractor reps who skipped key House hearing
The House of Representatives' tricameral committee has issued arrest warrants against five contractors for failing to attend an inquiry into alleged anomalies in flood control projects.
Contractors Sarah Discaya, Mark Arevalo, and representatives from St. Timothy Construction Corp., Royal Crown Monarch Construction, and Syms Construction Trading were summoned but did not appear.
These companies were previously flagged by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for allegedly cornering a significant portion of flood control projects and potentially undertaking anomalous or substandard projects.
The joint committee's first hearing on Tuesday invited 16 contractors, with 15 being the top contractors that secured over P100 billion in flood control contracts during the first half of the Marcos Jr. administration.
Sarah Discaya is linked to eight other flood control contractors and is president of Alpha & Omega General Contractor and Development Corp.
