00:00Controversial businessman Curly Diskaya admits during a Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing
00:06that his firms bribed officials in Quezon City in exchange for flood control projects.
00:11Deputy Majority Leader Risa Ontiveros questions Diskaya on whether his companies were also paying off officials in Quezon City,
00:18similar to how they allegedly paid Department of Public Works and Highways officials to secure government contracts.
00:23So, Mr. Diskaya, sinabi niyo po sa affidavit ninyo na hindi maiiwasan magbayad sa mga regional directors at district engineers ng DPWH para makakuha ng projects.
00:38Wow, no? Sabi niyo pa ay nagbabayad kayo ng from 10 to 25 percent sa DPWH.
00:45Kinailangan niyo rin bang magbayad ng SOP para makakuha ng projects dun naman sa Quezon City?
00:51Diskaya denies making payments beforehand but admits they were pressured to do so after the projects were awarded.
00:58Your Honor, hindi po. Bali, kami po ay nilalapitan lang po pag once na may award na po at saka lang po kami nilalapitan.
01:06At ayaw po namin magbigay yung honor kaya lang po ay napapressure lang po kami.
01:11The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee also cites Diskaya in contempt for lying about the reason behind his wife Sarah Diskaya's absence from the hearing.
