Former Senator Antonio Trillanes announced plans to file a plunder case against Senator Bong Go, alleging that Go’s father and brother’s construction company received ₱7 billion worth of projects during the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
According to Trillanes, contracts from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) show how CLTG Builders and other firms linked to the Discaya family secured multiple infrastructure projects—such as roads, farm-to-market routes, and flood control systems—in Davao under Duterte’s term.
He added that Sarah Discaya herself admitted that her business grew significantly starting in 2016.
“Sa tingin niyo makukuha nila ‘yung P7 billion kung wala ‘yung impuwensiya nila [Duterte at Go]? Magkadugtong ang bituka nila,”
Trillanes said in an interview with DZMM.
Earlier, Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla claimed that the Discaya couple appeared to be protecting Go, as investigations by the DPWH into the alleged links between the Discayas and Go’s family companies are already underway.
Senator Bong Go, however, denied any involvement in the issue, saying he has no objection if charges are filed against the Discayas. He insisted that he never influenced any government decision to award contracts to his family.
