Quezon City Ends Four Infrastructure Projects
Quezon City officials have terminated four infrastructure projects awarded to construction firms associated with the Discayas family. The decision follows allegations linking these companies to irregularities in flood control initiatives.
According to sources, the city government acted promptly after the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board released Resolution No., which raised concerns about the legitimacy of the awarded contracts. This move reflects the local government’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
Background on the Discayas-Linked Projects
The projects, all focused on flood control, were initially granted to contractors tied to the Discayas group. Community members noted that these projects had been under scrutiny for possible anomalies affecting their implementation and effectiveness.
Local leaders highlighted that the termination aims to safeguard public funds and ensure that flood control efforts meet the community’s needs without compromise.
City Government’s Response and Future Plans
Officials reported that the termination was carried out in strict compliance with the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board’s directives. The city government is now exploring alternative contractors to resume the vital infrastructure work.
Moreover, authorities emphasized their dedication to strengthening procurement processes to avoid similar issues in the future. “We want to make sure that public projects are executed with integrity and serve the people effectively,” a city official stated.
Community Impact and Reactions
Residents have expressed mixed feelings, welcoming the move to halt questionable projects but hoping for swift resolution to ongoing flood control challenges. “Mahalaga na maayos ang proyekto para sa kaligtasan ng aming mga tahanan,” a community member said.
Local stakeholders continue to monitor developments closely, urging transparency and prompt action to address flood risks in vulnerable areas.
