contractor licenses of 9 Sarah Discaya-owned construction firms revoke – PCAB
The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) has revoked the contractor’s licenses of nine construction companies owned and controlled by Sarah Discaya.
In its Resolution No. 075, series of 2025, issued September 1, PCAB, citing Discaya’s admission on ownership of the nine companies involved in bidding of questioned government projects.
PCAB resolved to revoke immediately the licenses of the following:
- Gerrard Construction Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation
- Alpha & Omega Gen. Contractor & Dev’t Corporation
- Timothy Construction Corporation
- Amethyst Horizon Builders and Gen.Contractor & Dev’t Corp.
- Matthew General Contractor & Development Corporation
- Great Pacific Builders and General Contractor, Inc.
- YPR General Contractor and Construction Supply, Inc.
- Way Maker OPC
- Elite General Contractor and Development Corp.
PCAB noted that Discaya’s admission “establishes a scheme of joint or multiple bidding participation designed to influence the outcome of public bidding, manipulate results and corner public projects thereby undermining transparency, fairness, and competition in violation of procurement laws and licensing requirements.”
PCAB added that after thorough evaluation of the statements made by Discaya, it concluded that “the continued accreditation of these corporations is inimical to public interest, industry integrity, and government procurement transparency.”
The accreditation body further said that it will issue notices of revocation to the subject corporations and remove them from the PCAB registry of duly licensed contractors.
Copies of the resolution were furnished to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Government Procurement Policy Board (GPPB), Local Government Units, and all concerned government agencies.
PCAB added that the matter will also be endorsed to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) “for further determination of criminal liability, if warranted, under the Revised Penal Code and procurement laws.”
