Senate may detain Curlee Discaya, 3 others for up to 3 years, says Lacson
Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson announced that four individuals involved in a flood control projects scandal could face up to three years in Senate detention for alleged false testimonies. The individuals, including contractor Pacifico “Curlee” Discaya, and three former DPWH engineers, have been cited for contempt by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee. Their detention may continue until Congress adjourns in three years, with potential transfers if charges are filed. The investigation centers on claims of overpriced, substandard, and ghost projects.
