PASIG City Mayor Vico Sotto revealed on Tuesday, September 9th, that the Discayas, a couple embroiled in controversy surrounding flood control projects, attempted to arrange a meeting with him through a mutual acquaintance.
Sotto stated that he declined the proposed meeting.
Mayor Sotto’s decision to refuse the meeting raises questions about the Discayas’ motives and the potential implications for the ongoing investigations.
His refusal suggests a cautious approach, perhaps to avoid any appearance of impropriety or to maintain distance from individuals implicated in alleged corruption.
Sotto further speculated that the Discaya couple may be seeking to become state witnesses in the flood control project investigations.
This theory suggests that they may possess information that could be valuable to authorities and are attempting to leverage their knowledge for leniency or protection.
