Discayas formally seek witness protection
The Philippine Star
|September 20, 2025
Spouses Pacifico “Curlee” and Cezarah “Sarah” Discaya yesterday appeared before Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla for the formal evaluation of their application to be admitted to the government's Witness Protection Program (WPP) in connection with anomalous flood control projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Wearing a bulletproof vest, Curlee arrived at the Department of Justice (DOJ) building in Manila around 9 a.m., while his wife Sarah followed at about 10:30 a.m.
The meeting lasted a few hours, with the spouses, escorted by their lawyers, leaving separately past noon and declining interviews.
Curlee was later brought back to the Senate building in Pasay City, where he remains detained after being cited in contempt by the Blue Ribbon committee during last Thursday's hearing.
DOJ spokesman Mico Clavano said the Discayas' applications would undergo further evaluation.
