Sarah Discaya Surrenders — Pero Bakit Siya Lang? Nasaan ang Big Names sa P96.5M Flood Scam?
Contractor Sarah Discaya surrendered to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Tuesday morning — kahit wala pang warrant. Ayon sa kanyang abogado, “Wala siyang itinatago.”
Surrendering without a warrant sounds noble.
Pero sa mata ng publiko, mas mukha itong script na laging inuulit:
Small fish first.
Big sharks later — or never.
Discaya faces graft and malversation charges over a ₱96.5-million flood control project in Davao Occidental that was fully paid but never built — classic flood-control corruption pattern.
Pero eto ang tanong ng bayan:
🔴 Why is the contractor the first to fall, not the officials who approved, released, and monitored the billions?
Flood-control corruption is NEVER a one-person operation.
Hindi contractors ang nagbibigay ng:
✔ approvals
✔ signatures
✔ fund releases
✔ clearances
✔ and final documentation
The mastermind layer always sits above the contractor — inside government.
🔴 And bakit habang may “surrender,” yung ibang pangalan—tahimik pa rin?
May mga:
✔ alleged monthly deliveries
✔ testimonies about DPWH chains
✔ frozen bank accounts
✔ billions traced
✔ testimonies naming politicians
Pero kahit isa sa mga ‘big names’ on top — wala pang warrant.
The result?
Parang ginagawa lang trophy ang small cases para sabihing “gumagalaw ang hustisya,” habang ang mas malalaking isda ay hindi man lang nalalapitan.
🔴 Justice cannot be selective — lalo na kung taxpayers ang ninanakawan.
If Discaya surrendered, good.
But surrender alone does not fix a system where:
✔ billions vanish,
✔ projects remain unbuilt,
✔ and only contractors face the music —
while the powerful, the connected, and the protected remain untouchable.
📖 Bible Reflection — Proverbs 17:23
“The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.”
Kung tunay ang hustisya — it should climb UP the chain, not stop at the bottom.

₱110 Million on the Table: Cash? Evidence? Or Receipts of a Rotten System?
Isang litrato ang muling yumanig sa bayan:
₱110 MILLION cash, neatly stacked, freshly turned over by former DPWH Engineer Henry Alcantara.
Hindi ito pelikula.
Hindi ito cartel movie.
Ito po ay Pilipinas 2025 — kung saan ang perang dapat napunta sa kalsada, tulay, ospital, at baha control…
nakatambak sa mesa ng pamahalaan na parang grocery money.
The question is not “Bakit may P110 million?”
The real question is:
🔎 Bakit may ganyang kalaking cash na kasyang itago?
🔎 Ilang ganito pa ang hindi natin nakikita?
🔎 At kanino talaga galing, at kanino talaga dapat makarating?
This is not transparency.
This is evidence that corruption was not only done — it was industrialized.
In a landscape where plunder cases hit congressmen, contractors, agencies, and political allies…
sudden “cash turn-overs” like this don’t look like heroism.
They look like panic deposits.
At sabi ng Biblia:
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” — 1 Timothy 6:10
Kung ganito kalaki ang perang “naitatabi,”
isipin mo na lang kung gaano kalaki ang pera ng taong bayan na hindi na kailanman mababalik.
₱110 million is not justice.
It’s a reminder of everything that has gone wrong —
and everything that must still be exposed.
Hair Follicle Test: The Challenge That Could End the Noise — or End the Presidency.
Political strategist Prof. Malou Tiquia did not mince words.
Her challenge to President Bongbong Marcos was direct, bold, and impossible to ignore:
“Mr. President, if you love the Philippines, do a hair follicle test. Put it to rest.
If not, the ultimate sacrifice is there — resign.”
Boom.
Sa gitna ng mga kontrobersya, testimonya, at patong-patong na akusasyon, Tiquia simply said what millions of Filipinos have been whispering for months:
Kung wala kang tinatago — patunayan. Kung may tinatago — umalis.
This is not just political noise.
This is leadership on trial.
Because in a nation drowning in corruption scandals, plunder probes, congressional investigations, and credibility questions...
the President’s integrity is now national security.
A hair follicle test is not humiliation —
it’s closure.
Pero bakit parang napakahirap gawin?
Bakit mas madaling magsalita ng “fake news,” “lies,” at “destabilization,”
kaysa harapin ang simpleng test?
And as the Bible says:
“The one who does what is true comes into the light.” — John 3:21
Kung malinis — lumapit sa liwanag.
Kung ayaw —
baka kasi may dahilan.
Prof. Tiquia only said what the Agila people already feel:
Ang katotohanan, hindi tinatakbuhan, hinaharap.
At kung hindi kayang harapin —
may mas mataas na tawag para sa tunay na lider.
Marcos ‘Teases’ Isko Moreno — Pero Totoo Bang Pabiro Lang?
Sa turnover ceremony ng San Lazaro Residences sa Manila, tila light banter lang daw ang exchange:
PBBM playfully “teasing” Isko Moreno na baka siya na raw ang dapat ilagay bilang head ng NHA o DHSUD dahil sa bilis ng Manila housing projects.
Pero kung babasahin nang mas malalim?
This wasn’t just teasing.
This was pressure wrapped in humor, a subtle way of saying:
“Yorme, mas mabilis ka pa kaysa sa national agencies ko.”
At ’yan ang point ng controversy:
Kung kaya ng Manila LGU magpatayo ng 200+ units in three months, bakit ang NHA at DHSUD hindi?
Nangyari sa Event
Marcos praised Isko’s speed in building 382-unit San Lazaro Residences.
PBBM: “I’m jealous… that kind of speed is only a dream for NHA and DHSUD.”
Marcos jokingly suggested Isko should “take charge” of national housing to expedite projects.
The project includes facilities rare in national builds: public health support hub, admin office, activity area, swimming pool.
Units are two-bedroom, fully equipped, livable upon turnover.
Tenure program allows residents to pay ₱2,000–₱3,000 monthly, refundable upon exit.

Mga Ka-Minute, alam mo ang tawag dito?
Diplomatic insult.
'Pag sinabi ng presidente na “natatakam ako sa bilis ni Yorme,”
ibig sabihin: mabagal ang national agencies.
At mas malala:
Kung biro lang talaga, bakit parang may totoong kirot sa tono?
Is this admiration?
Or is this Marcos signaling that local governments outperform his own Cabinet?
At kung si Isko ay kaya magpatayo ng ganito kabilis…
bakit national housing crisis ay hindi masolusyunan ng Malacañang for years?
📖 Bible Verse
“By their fruits you shall know them.” — Matthew 7:16
Hindi sa pangako sinusukat ang leader, kundi sa gawa.
At minsan, ang biro ay mas totoo kaysa sa speech.
