Vico accuses possible rival of links to Miru
The Philippine Star
|October 05, 2024
Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto has accused his opponent for the city's mayoral post in next year's elections of alleged connection with South Korean company Miru Systems, winner of the P18-billion automated counting machines contract that will be used in the 2025 midterm elections.
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.
