Sarah Discaya Draws Attention After Alleged Gesture Toward Reporter
Contractor Sarah Discaya went viral and elicited comments after allegedly raising a middle finger at a reporter.
Recently, Sarah Discaya became the center of public attention after a video showed her allegedly raising her middle finger at a reporter who tried to ask her a question outside the Department of Justice. The video garnered various reactions from netizens.
The incident happened on Friday, December 19, 2025when Sarah Discaya and her husband, Curlee Discaya, were seen leaving the DOJ office.
A radio news reporter attempted to ask whether they would return the money allegedly taken from questionable flood control projects. Instead of responding, Sarah was seen in the video making what appeared to be an offensive hand gesture toward the reporter.
Radio reporter Lorenz Tanjoco shared the video on his TikTok account. Many viewers expressed shock and disappointment, saying the gesture showed disrespect toward the media and the public. Others said the action only added to the controversy already surrounding the couple.
Earlier that day, Sarah and Curlee Discaya were brought separately to the DOJ for a preliminary investigation. The case involves a P7.1 billion tax evasion complaint filed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Authorities are now looking into the allegations as part of the legal process.
The Discaya couple owns Alpha and Omega General Contractor and Development Corporation. The company was previously mentioned by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as one of 15 firms that received a large portion of flood control projects across the country.
Reports stated that these companies handled about 20 percent of such projects nationwide.
The alleged gesture has raised public discussion, with many people calling for accountability and transparency, especially given the serious accusations involved. Others pointed out the importance of professionalism, particularly when facing questions related to public funds.
The social media users expressed their reactions to the post:
