MALACANANG has issued a statement advising the public to refrain from inciting violence and allow the legal process to unfold, following a protest staged by militant groups and flood survivors at the property owned by Sarah Discaya and her husband, Pacifico.
The protest was reportedly triggered by allegations of corruption and irregularities in flood control projects involving Discaya’s construction company.
According to reports, protesters targeted the compound gate of St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corp., owned by the Discayas, in Pasig City on Thursday morning.
The demonstrators reportedly hurled mud and spray-painted the word “magnanakaw” (thief) on the gate, expressing their anger and frustration over the alleged misappropriation of funds intended for flood control initiatives.
In response to the incident, Presidential Communications Office Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stated that President Marcos does not condone public disorder and emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law. The Palace urged all parties to exercise restraint and allow the ongoing investigations to proceed without interference or acts of violence.
