Bong Go denies being protected by Discayas
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Office of the Ombudsman are probing CLTG Corporation's alleged connections with the Discaya couple's businesses, specifically focusing on joint ventures for projects since 2016.
The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) is also investigating possible links between the Discaya couple and CLTG Builders, a company owned by the father of Senator Bong Go.
The Discaya couple has refused to cooperate with the ICI and declined to explain their dealings with CLTG Builders, citing concerns about not qualifying as state witnesses.
Senator Bong Go has denied any knowledge of or involvement with the Discaya couple and their flood control projects, calling the Ombudsman's allegations of protection "unfair" and urging the Discayas to tell the truth.
The Ombudsman is preparing to file charges against the Discayas for allegedly controlling nine companies involved in rigged biddings and ghost projects.
The ICI may invite Senator Bong Go to their commission and request an immigration lookout bulletin order if sufficient evidence emerges.
