Pasig police awaiting security request amid Discaya protests

The Pasig City police have not yet received a formal request for security from the Discaya family, despite protests outside their firm's headquarters.

Flood survivors and environmental activists protested alleged irregularities in a flood-control project at the St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corp.

Pasig police chief Col. Hendrix Mangaldan stated that while the Discaya family's legal counsel mentioned the need for protection, no formal request has been filed with the PNP.

Mangaldan previously assured the public that the police would enforce the law impartially amidst rising tensions.

Protesters threw mud and rocks at the Discaya compound and spray-painted "magnanakaw" (thief) and "ikulong" (jail them) on its gates and walls during the rally.
