Sarah Discaya's licenses for 9 construction firms revoked
The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) has revoked the contractor licenses of nine corporations owned by Curlee and Sarah Discaya, effective September 1.
This action follows Sarah Discaya's admission during a Senate Blue Ribbon hearing that her nine firms simultaneously bid for the same government flood control projects.
The PCAB cited Sarah's admission as evidence of a scheme to influence bidding outcomes, manipulate results, and corner public projects, violating procurement laws.
The revocation was issued through PCAB Resolution No. 075, signed by PCAB Chairman Pericles Dakay.
