The Discayas were at the DOJ to turn over more documents and information in connection with supposed anomalies surrounding multi-million peso flood control projects. Their cooperation is viewed as crucial in shedding light on the questionable transactions linked to the infrastructure initiatives.

The DOJ is still evaluating the couple’s application for inclusion in the Witness Protection Program (WPP). The program provides security and assistance to witnesses and whistleblowers, especially those facing possible threats due to their testimonies.

The submission of fresh evidence comes at a time when investigations into alleged corruption in government projects remain under close watch.

Meanwhile, Sarah’s gesture, typically seen in Korean pop culture as a symbol of cheer and optimism, struck observers as a stark contrast to the serious matters surrounding the visit.

News, photos, or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, this could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable stories that people could easily understand and relate in their lives.

Last week, contractors Pacifico “Curlee” and Sarah Discaya went to the DOJ to seek inclusion in the Witness Protection Program (WPP). Curlee, detained by the Senate for contempt, presented his affidavit for review by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla. The couple offered to name lawmakers, staff, and DPWH officials allegedly tied to flood control corruption but must return ill-gotten wealth first. DOJ stressed that WPP protection is a privilege, warning that false testimony could lead to perjury charges or detention.

In a contentious session of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, businesswoman and contractor Sarah Discaya staunchly defended the origins of her family's substantial wealth, claiming it was the result of two decades in the construction business, not preferential treatment from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Appearing before the committee, which is probing alleged anomalies in government flood control projects, she addressed the controversy surrounding a viral video interview where she discussed her riches. She insisted the video was "spliced" to create a misleading narrative, omitting the crucial context that her family had been in the industry for 23 years before securing large-scale government contracts with the DPWH.
