Members of the environmental group Kalikasan storm the St. Gerrard Construction office owned by the Discaya family in Pasig City on Thursday, September 4, 2025. The protesters hurled mud at the property, symbolizing the burden carried by flood victims due to failed flood-control projects. They also spray-painted the words “Magnanakaw” and “Korap” on the office walls and gate to express anger over alleged corruption in flood-control contracts awarded to the Discaya family’s companies.

Pasig City Police Station Chief Hendrix Mangaldan said in a media interview that, with or without a permit, authorities will exercise maximum tolerance, but incidents like mud-throwing and vandalism should not be allowed.
“Kasi, they might be committing the case of malicious mischief,” he said, adding that these actions are punishable by law.
Around 12 p.m., Eastern Police District (EPD) Director Aden T. Lagradante reportedly went to the area to assess the situation and speak with the Discaya family to see if they are willing to file a complaint against the protesters.
As of this writing, no other statement has been released regarding whether the protesters will face charges.
Meanwhile, the Discaya family’s lawyer, Cornelio Samaniego III, said they will file a criminal case against those behind the staged protest.
