No holiday furlough for Discaya, ex-DPWH engineers — Lacson
Senator Ping Lacson announced that contractor Curlee Discaya and three former DPWH engineers will not be granted holiday furlough due to security concerns.
The recommendation to deny their Christmas leave was approved by Senate President Vicente Sotto III.
Lacson cited media statements from the Ombudsman and the President regarding impending arrest warrants as the primary reason for the denial.
Discaya and the former DPWH engineers are currently detained at the Senate after being cited in contempt for non-cooperation during a flood control project investigation.
One of the former engineers, Henry Alcantara, had requested a holiday leave through the Department of Justice.
