Timeline of the flood control scandal "DAW"

Under the Aquino administration (2012–2016)

The Discaya family's construction firms, such as St. Gerrard Construction, reportedly began transitioning from local government projects to securing contracts with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) found that companies later linked to the family were incorporated as early as 2014, allowing them to participate in government procurement. 

Under the Duterte administration (2016–2022)

The Discaya firms, led by Pacifico "Curlee" and Cezarah "Sarah" Discaya, became one of the most prominent government contractors, expanding into flood control projects around 2016.

In 2020, St. Gerrard Construction was blacklisted by the DPWH for project delays. However, this suspension had a time limit and did not halt the family's overall involvement in securing contracts. 

Under the Marcos administration (2022–present)

Following the expiration of the blacklist, the Discaya firms experienced a massive surge in awarded contracts.

From 2022 to 2025, their companies and joint ventures secured over ₱31 billion in flood control projects, according to the PCIJ.

In August 2025, President Bongbong Marcos flagged the top flood control contractors for possible irregularities during his State of the Nation Address, putting the Discaya firms under scrutiny.

September and October 2025 saw multiple ongoing investigations by the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Department of Justice, and the Bureau of Customs into the massive flood control anomaly. 

Key findings of the investigations

Bid-rigging: The Discaya couple admitted to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee that they owned nine construction firms, some of which bid against each other for the same projects. The DPWH has since filed bid-rigging cases against the Discaya firms and officials.

Ghost projects: Investigations revealed numerous flood control projects that were paid for but either were never built or were left unfinished.

Substandard materials: Reports indicate that some completed projects used substandard materials and failed to prevent flooding.

Frozen assets: In October 2025, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) froze ₱180 billion in bank accounts linked to the Discaya firms.

Lavish lifestyle: The Discayas' ownership of 28 luxury vehicles, some allegedly smuggled, drew public outrage, highlighting the scale of the corruption.

Political connections: The scandal has implicated lawmakers and DPWH officials who allegedly benefited from the fraudulent schemes.
