The controversial contractor was temporarily taken out of Senate detention last week after requesting to undergo a medical procedure on his right shoulder and was allowed to do so.

Discaya has been detained at the Senate since September 2025, after being cited for contempt by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee during one of the hearings on the anomalous flood control project. —VAL, GMA News
