Sarah Discaya detained in Lapu-Lapu City
Manila Bulletin
|December 21, 2025
There will be no special treatment that will be accorded to contractor Cezarah "Sarah" Discaya, who was committed to a detention facility in Lapu-Lapu City along with eight other individuals accused of being involved in a multi-million anomalous flood control project.
"That's the order of the DOJ (Department of Justice) secretary to give them no special treatment. Treat them as ordinary criminals," Renan Oliva, director of the National Bureau of Investigation-Central Visayas (NBI-7), said past midnight Saturday, Dec. 20.
Oliva and two other female accused will be detained at the female dormitory of the Lapu-Lapu City Jail. The six male accused will be locked up at the facility's male dormitory.
Discaya, along with her co-accused, was flown to Cebu on Friday evening, Dec. 19. The aircraft that carried her arrived at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) at 6:13 p.m. and was the last to disembark.
