The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) has revoked the licenses of nine companies owned by flood control projects contractor Sara Discaya.
These include the following: St. Matthew General Contractor & Development Corporation; Dakong Pacific Builders Ug General Contractor, Inc.; YPR General Contractor And Construction Supply, Inc.; Waymaker OPC; Elite General Contractor And Development Corp.; St. Gerrard Construction Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation; Alpha & Omega Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation; St. Timothy Construction Corporation; and Amethyst Horizon Builders Ug Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corp.
In a resolution issued by the PCAB, the continued accreditation of the said companies would harm the public interest, industry integrity, and transparency in government procurement.
Discaya’s admission in the Senate hearing that he owns nine companies that participated in bidding for government projects influenced the results of public bidding, manipulated the results, and blocked public projects, he said.
