MANILA, Philippines — The Discaya family will file criminal charges against individuals who staged a protest outside the family’s St. Gerrard compound in Pasig City, their lawyer said Friday.

Lawyer Cornelio Samaniego III said evidence gathered from CCTV footage identified both the group and the organizer of the demonstration.

“We are finalizing the criminal complaint for filing before the fiscal,” Samaniego said, adding that the charges may include malicious mischief and alarm and scandal after the compound’s main gate was damaged.

Samaniego declined to disclose the Discayas’ current location but confirmed that they remained in the country. He also said the family respected the government’s issuance of an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO), stressing that it is “an administrative action” and does not automatically restrict travel.

“The Discayas have no plans to leave. In fact, they will attend the Senate hearing on Monday,” Samaniego said. The Senate has summoned the couple and other company presidents allegedly linked to irregular flood control projects.

He further clarified that while the Discayas once owned Great Pacific Builders, they have divested from the firm. “Ms. Sara [Discaya] has divested from eight corporations. The only companies she holds now are Alpha and Omega Corporation,” he said.

Samaniego admitted, however, that the family was facing difficulties after the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) revoked the licenses of several corporations connected to them.

“The problem now is our PCAB licenses have been revoked, so we don’t know how to proceed with contracts since we are no longer authorized to operate,” he said.
