STATEMENT OF THE QUEZON CITY GOVERNMENT
Since the start of this administration in July 2019, and out of more than 1,300 infrastructure projects of the Quezon City Government, four (4) projects were awarded to Discaya-linked entities or joint ventures, representing 0.3% of its total projects.
Upon the issuance of Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) Board Resolution No. 075, Series of 2025, on September 1, 2025, which revoked the licenses of Discaya-linked companies, and the subsequent cancellation of their PhilGEPS membership, due to violations of licensing requirements and procurement laws, the Quezon City Government immediately conducted a review of its infrastructure projects.
The review found four (4) projects, namely: (1) Proposed Construction of Six (6) Storey with Deck Multi-Purpose Building; (2) Proposed Construction of Reinforced Concrete Canal at Ermitaño Creek; (3) Proposed Construction of Housing 32-Balingasa High Rise Housing (Phase 1A) at Brgy. Balingasa; and (4) Proposed Construction of Housing 32-Balingasa High Rise Housing (Phase 2) at Brgy. Balingasa.
After the observance of the periods required by law, or as of September 19, 2025, all four (4) of the said projects involving Discaya-linked companies have been terminated.
The Quezon City Government has always observed transparency in all its procurement processes, including adherence to competitive bidding, publication, and posting. This is the reason all our infrastructure projects are publicly posted on our website. The Quezon City Government has nothing to hide. We welcome all good-faith examinations of competent legal authorities of our projects and processes.
We condemn any and all malicious insinuations that only seek to distract from the actual schemes and perpetrators that have victimized our City and our Country. We remain steadfast and unwavering in upholding the trust of our people, and we will continue to ensure that public funds are used solely for the benefit of our QCitizens.
