PCAB has canceled the licenses of nine construction firms owned by contractor Sarah Discaya after corruption allegations in flood control projects worth billions.

In Board Resolution No. 75, officials said keeping these firms accredited goes against public interest and industry integrity.

Affected firms include St. Gerrard Construction, Alpha & Omega Construction, St. Timothy Construction, Amethyst Horizon Builders, St. Matthew General Contractor, Great Pacific Builders, YPR General Contractor, Way Maker OPC, and Elite General Contractor.

Resolution approval came on Sept. 1 and was released publicly on Sept. 3, with immediate effect.

During a Senate Blue Ribbon hearing, Discaya admitted owning and controlling all nine companies.

She also confirmed their participation in biddings for government projects. PCAB said this proves collusion and schemes meant to corner projects and influence outcomes.

Officials cited the Government Procurement Act of 2024, which requires transparency, fairness, and competition in bidding.

It also bans conflict of interest and multiple entries from companies under one ownership or control.

Notices of revocation will be issued, and the companies will be removed from the official registry. Copies of the resolution will be furnished to agencies like DPWH and SEC.

PCAB also plans to endorse the case to the National Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice for further review of possible criminal charges.
