QC terminates 4 Discaya-linked projects
The Philippine Star
|October 08, 2025
The Quezon City government has terminated four infrastructure projects awarded to entities or joint ventures linked to contractor couple Curlee and Sarah Discaya.
In a statement yesterday, the local government unit said only four out of the more than 1,300 infrastructure projects of the LGU since 2019 have been awarded to companies owned by the Discayas.
City hall said it immediately conducted a review of the flood mitigation projects after the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board revoked the licenses of Discaya-linked companies, followed by the cancellation of their PhilGEPS membership due to violations of licensing requirements and procurement laws.
