The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has terminated all government infrastructure contracts linked to the Discaya group of companies as part of its cleanup of questionable projects.
DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon said the unfinished projects will be re-bid to ensure transparency and accountability.
“The goal is to restore integrity in government infrastructure projects,” Dizon said.
He added that the terminated contracts are being prepared for re-bidding, and the DPWH is coordinating with the Office of the Solicitor General to explore legal actions to recover funds from irregular projects.
The move comes as senators consider using savings from terminated or overpriced projects to fund other programs in the 2026 national budget.
Lawmakers have also urged the DPWH to reallocate funds to legitimate infrastructure needs.
Dizon said the DPWH will impose strict sanctions on erring contractors, including lifetime blacklisting for those proven to have delivered substandard projects.
He emphasized that the agency prioritizes efficient public spending and will only allow capable and honest contractors to participate in government projects.
