Bulacan solon rejects link to Discayas in flood control probe
Bulacan Sixth District Representative Salvador Pleyto has vehemently denied allegations that he received financial "remittances" from government contractors Sarah and Curlee Discaya before his election to Congress.
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla mentioned an Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) report naming Pleyto, who was reportedly president of S.A. Pleyto Construction Corp., among those allegedly receiving funds from the Discayas.
Pleyto stated his readiness to cooperate with the AMLC or other authorities to clear his name and urged the public against spreading unverified information.
The probe also involves Benguet Representative Eric Yap and ACT-CIS Party-list Representative Edvic Yap, with Eric Yap identified as having beneficial ownership of Silverwolves Construction Corporation, which was awarded substandard flood control projects.
