00:00A Pasay City court upholds the detention of controversial contractor Curly Diskaya in the
00:05Senate but also tells the Blue Ribbon Committee to act on Diskaya's motion for reconsideration
00:09that has been unresolved for an unconscionably long period. In a 22-page ruling, the Pasay City
00:15RTC denies Diskaya's petition to nullify the Senate panel's contempt order that led to his
00:20detention. The court says Diskaya failed to prove that his detention was illegal or that the Senate
00:25committed grave abuse of discretion. The Senate detained Diskaya on September 18, 2025 after
00:30inconsistencies in his statements as to why his wife, Sarah, failed to attend a Senate hearing.
00:35Sarah is detained at the Lapu-Lapu City Jail in Cebu for a malversation case over a
00:40P96.5 million alleged ghost project in Davao Occidental.
