The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) has revoked the licenses of nine construction firms owned or controlled by Sarah Discaya following her admission these firms competed against each other to corner juicy contracts for flood control projects.
PCAB approved Board Resolution No. 075 Series of 2025 on September 1, 2025, revoking licenses in relation to ownership and control of multiple licensed construction companies joining the same flood control projects bidding simultaneously.
The Discaya-owned companies are St. Gerrard Construction Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation; Alpha & Omega Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation; St. Timothy Construction Corporation; Amethyst Horizon Builders And Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corp.; St. Matthew General Contractor & Development Corporation; Great Pacific Builders And General Contractor, Inc.; YPR General Contractor And Construction Supply, Inc.; Way Maker OPC; and Elite General Contractor And Development Corp.
The PCAB Resolution was approved on same day, September 1, 2025, that Discaya, in a sworn testimony under oath before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Hearing, admitted ownership and control of nine construction companies and have participated in bidding of government projects, raising the presence of collusion, employing schemes which stifle or suppress the outcome of the procurement activity in violation of licensing and procurement laws.
After thorough evaluation of the statements made by Ms. Discaya, the PCAB Board concludes that the continued accreditation of these corporations is “inimical to public interest, industry integrity, and government procurement transparency.”
PCAB shall issue notices of revocation to the subject corporations; remove said corporations from the PCAB registry of duly licensed contractors; furnish copies of this Resolution to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB), Local Government Units, and all concerned government agencies, and the matter shall likewise be endorsed to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) for further determination of criminal liability, if warranted, under the Revised Penal Code and procurement laws.
