Government contractor Pacifico “Curlee” F. Discaya II was arrested on Monday by the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) in connection with a malversation case tied to an alleged anomalous flood control project in Bulacan, BusinessWorld reported.
Mr. Discaya was arrested at the Senate where he had been detained since September 2025 after being cited in contempt. The arrest warrant stems from allegations of irregularities in the implementation of a flood control project in Bulacan, leading to charges of malversation of public funds.
The case highlights ongoing government efforts to address corruption in public infrastructure projects. The PNP-CIDG's arrest of Discaya underscores the seriousness of the malversation charges and the government's commitment to holding contractors accountable for alleged misuse of public funds.
