2 top flood-control contractors linked to Vico Sotto's rivals in Pasig
Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto revealed that two of the top contractors awarded a significant portion of government flood control projects are linked to the Discaya family, his political rivals.
These companies, Alpha & Omega Gen. Contractor & Development Corp. and St. Timothy Construction Corporation, were identified among the top contractors by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who presented a list of 15 firms that received P100 billion in flood mitigation projects between July 2022 and May 2025.
Mayor Sotto shared the quote from President Marcos Jr.'s State of the Nation address, urging the contractors to "Mahiya naman kayo!" (Be ashamed of yourselves!).
He further elaborated on the "six stages of corruption," including procurement irregularities and the use of subpar materials.
Sotto pledged that the local government would report any "red flags" concerning flood control projects to the president.
Additionally, he stated that Pasig City would continue legal actions to recover millions, potentially billions, in owed business taxes from these contractors.
