Sotto criticized the credibility of Curlee and Cezarah Discaya following their testimony before the Senate blue ribbon committee on Monday.
He said while some lawmakers, Public Works officials, and contractors were clearly guilty, the Discaya couple was “clearly angling to become state witness” to avoid imprisonment.
The mayor cited contradictions in Discayas' claims, noting how Curlee Discaya told senators that contractors only earned 2 to 3 percent of a project’s cost, “lucky” to reach 5 percent, sometimes even incurring losses.

“That is contrary to their statement in an interview, where they said they were billionaires and already had "11 digits’ money. Meaning at least ₱10 billion,” Sotto said.

He added that it was illogical to say someone would risk committing large-scale corruption for a mere 2 to 3 percent profit, stressing that even President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. confirmed seeing a “ghost project.”
Sotto also dismissed the Discayas’ claim of being powerless, saying the real challenge now was to “sift through the half-truths and attempts to mislead us, not only of the spouses Discaya but of everyone involved.”
