Vico Sotto to testify in Senate probe if invited, says Pasig doing 'parallel investigation'
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto expressed doubt over businesswoman Sarah Discaya's Senate testimony regarding the flood control controversy, urging authorities to act swiftly.
Sotto, Discaya's rival in the 2025 mayoral race, accused her of dishonesty and highlighted inconsistencies in her statements to senators.
Discaya, attending the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing for the first time, confirmed owning 28 luxury cars and denied having "ghost" projects.
She also admitted to owning nine construction companies and stated her family began bidding for DPWH projects around 2012, securing flood control projects from 2016 onwards.
Sotto confirmed he would testify in the Senate probe if invited, noting that it is not a matter of choice.
He added that the LGU is conducting its own parallel investigation and hopes the "scheme" in government infrastructure projects would finally stop.
Sotto emphasized that he would not allow the issue to fade and stressed the need for accountability from contractors, politicians, and government employees to prevent recurrence.
