The relief operation comes at a time when Atayde’s name has been dragged into controversy after Sarah and Curlee Discaya tagged him in the alleged corruption surrounding government flood control projects. Atayde and his wife, actress Maine Mendoza, have since denied any involvement, asserting that the claims are baseless. Despite the allegations, Atayde has continued his public service initiatives, including distributing aid to flood-affected communities.

Sarah Discaya is a Filipina businesswoman, philanthropist, and political figure who serves as the Chief Financial Officer of St. Gerrard Construction and Development Corporation. Known for her charitable work such as medical missions and welfare programs, she gained recognition for supporting healthcare, education, solo parents, and senior citizens. In 2025, she ran for mayor of Pasig City with a platform focused on making it a smart city through improved healthcare, digital connectivity, and modern systems, but she lost to incumbent Mayor Vico Sotto. Months later, she was accused of being involved in anomalous flood control projects.

In a previous report by KAMI, Arjo Atayde, Quezon City 1st District's Representative, "categorically" denied the allegations against him. It can be recalled that today, Curless Discaya, dropped several names of lawmakers and DPWH officials who were allegedly involved in the flood control project mess. He said that the said officials would normally ask for 10% up to 25% from the project's value. Several lawmakers have already issued their statments denying the allegations, while there are still others who haven't released their statements yet.

Additionally, Korina Sanchez-Roxas posted on her Instagram account. There, she posed in front of a beautiful palace while she was in Disneyland. However, she also made fun of it in relation to the recent issue involving her. She wrote in the first part of her post, "My P10 Million Palace," which was somehow related to the allegations thrown against her by Mayor Vico Sotto.
