When politics meets plumbing… things get slippery.
Pasig City residents woke up this week to an unexpected flood of news—and not just the usual rainy-season kind. Mayor Vico Sotto revealed the names behind 15 companies handling the city’s flood control projects, and, surprise, surprise… the Discaya family is swimming in the middle of it.
Yes, you read that right. Sara Discaya—remember her? The same candidate who once tried to take the mayoral crown from Vico—now has family firms knee-deep in the city’s flood contracts. If irony were water, Pasig City would be underwater by now.
Residents were quick to point out that while Vico’s administration is working to stop floods, the Discayas seem determined to profit from them. “It’s like giving a cat a job at a dog grooming salon,” said one bemused citizen, who asked to remain anonymous.
Some citizens are calling it the ultimate plot twist: the *opposition party that literally owns the flood. Others are just stocking up on rubber boots and popcorn. After all, politics in Pasig City has never been so… splashy.
Mayor Vico, for his part, is encouraging transparency and warning that no matter how high the tide of family business deals rises, he’ll keep the city afloat. Meanwhile, some residents are whispering rumors that the Discayas might start selling umbrellas, life jackets, or even miniature boats to council members.
The moral of the story? In Pasig City, when it rains, it pours—both water and family business deals.
