Vico accuses possible rival of links to Miru

Sotto made the allegations after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) reportedly flagged potential conflict of interest following reports that people linked to election contractors are running for office.

In a social media post, Sotto said that Sarah Discaya, his expected rival for the 2025 elections, allegedly owned St. Timothy Construction Corp. (STCC), a local partner of Miru Systems.

Miru Systems was the lone bidder for the contract to provide automated counting machines and other election paraphernalia for the 2025 elections.

"The same people are behind St. Gerrard Construction (SGC) and St.Timothy Construction," Sotto said.
