Quezon City Ends Four Infrastructure Projects
Quezon City has officially terminated four infrastructure projects awarded to companies connected to Discaya. This decision came after a comprehensive review conducted by city officials, aiming to uphold transparency and accountability in local government undertakings.
Background of License Revocations
Earlier, the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) revoked licenses of several companies linked to Discaya. Following this, their registrations with the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) were also canceled. These developments set the stage for Quezon City’s decisive action.
Official Resolution and City Action
The termination of the projects aligns with PCAB Board Resolution No. 075, Series of 2025. Local leaders noted that this resolution provided the legal basis for halting the contracts to protect public interest and ensure project integrity.
Impact on Local Development
Community members expressed mixed reactions, emphasizing the importance of continuing infrastructure development while maintaining strict standards. Officials reported that alternative contractors would be considered to resume the halted projects promptly.
Commitment to Transparent Governance
City authorities reaffirmed their commitment to transparent governance and vowed to conduct regular audits of ongoing and future projects. This move aims to prevent similar issues and foster public trust in government initiatives.
