Discaya promises salary for sick, elderly, orphans

Pasig mayoral candidate Sarah Discaya made a heartfelt promise on Tuesday: if she wins in the upcoming midterm elections, she won’t keep a single centavo of her monthly salary.

“This isn’t about getting rich. This is about serving with heart,” said Discaya, a successful businesswoman and owner of a quadruple-A construction firm.

“Every peso, every coin — we’ll give to charity foundations helping sick children, to PWDs who fight every day, to elderly folks often forgotten, to orphans, to everyone who’s longing for hope,” added the 48-year-old philanthropist, who also runs her own foundation focused on medical missions and community outreach.

But she’s not doing it alone.

“Kuya Curlee, my husband and my partner in everything, won’t just support me — he’ll match whatever we donate from his own pocket. So that one promise of help becomes two. So that a spark of hope becomes a light that shines over all of Pasig,” she said.

Discaya was quick to clarify: this isn’t just a campaign pitch.

“This is a commitment. A decision that started with prayer — and a heart ready to trade luxury for a life of service,” she said.

For Ate Sarah and Kuya Curlee, true wealth isn’t measured by how much money you have, but by how many lives you’ve touched, how many smiles you’ve sparked, and how many families felt that government truly cared.

“Pasigueños, this is leadership with principle, with compassion, and with a heart that won’t rest as long as there’s someone who still needs help,” she said.

Multi-level parking eyed

Meanwhile, Discaya is also setting her sights on a practical solution to one of the city’s everyday struggles: parking.

“In Pasig, the problem isn’t always how far you’re going — it’s finding a place to park,” Discaya said in a recent statement.

She pointed out how roadside parking, makeshift terminals, and motorists endlessly circling just to find a spot all pile up into bigger problems. “These seem like small issues, but they slow everything down — business, traffic, even daily life,” she added.

To address this, Discaya is proposing the construction of a multi-level parking facility with safe, organized terminals designed not just for motorists, but also for vendors and shoppers.

“When traffic flows better, income comes faster. People feel safer. And the local economy breathes easier,” she said. “This isn’t just about convenience — it’s about progress.”

She emphasized that this plan isn’t just a campaign promise. “This is something already mapped out — ready to build and implement,” she said.

“For me, organized roads mean thriving homes. This is a vision of a Pasig that doesn’t just move — but moves forward,” she added.
