DICT Bid-Rigging? Ex-chief of Staff ni Stella Quimbo, Sinabit sa Bilyon-bilyong Anomalya
Another day, another alleged anomaly — and this time, it lands uncomfortably close to the camp of former Marikina Rep. Stella Quimbo.
A leaked letter from DICT employees to Senator Tito Sotto has tagged Undersecretary Christina Faye “De Sagon” Conde, Quimbo’s former chief of staff, in alleged large-scale bid rigging, kickback facilitation, and manipulation of procurement processes at the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
💻 DICT officials claim: “May dummy companies. May insertion. May kikita.”
Based on the document, De Sagon — alongside DICT Region 1 Director Vince “Direk Welz” Gaudan — allegedly orchestrated irregular maneuvers to secure contracts for favored suppliers, including those linked to the infamous “Angara 5”, a group of officials said to be close to Senator Edgardo Angara.
The allegations include:
Bid rigging in laptop procurement for DepEd worth ₱4.2 billion,
Manipulation of data center co-location projects costing hundreds of millions,
Advance payments from favored suppliers,
Pressuring DICT committees to disqualify competitors and favor pre-selected bidders—even when they did NOT meet the bidding requirements.
If true, this paints a picture of a well-oiled machine — a corruption loop pegged not on ignorance, but intentional engineering of the system.
🧩 ANGARA 5? QUIRBO CONNECTION?
Reports indicate De Sagon was a member of the “Angara 5,” the same circle allegedly involved in budget insertions, questionable allocations, and inter-agency maneuvering.
And here’s where things get politically tense:
Stella Quimbo — while not directly accused — has long been connected to De Sagon, who served as her chief of staff before climbing the DICT hierarchy.
Add to that:
She sat on the Committee on Appropriations (aka the gatekeeper of budgets),
She was part of the small committee that handled alleged insertions in the 2025 budget,
Four public works projects in her district were reportedly implemented through contractors tied to controversial figures.
It raises the question:
Is De Sagon acting alone? Or does this expose a bigger network hidden behind technocrat polish and academic branding?
⚠️ THE PATTERN: Insertions. Kickbacks. Favors. Tech projects priced in the billions.
Why is this important?
Because while the public is distracted by political noise, cases like this show how billions in taxpayer money can disappear quietly behind procurement boards and technical working groups.
This is not a small-time scandal. This is governance hacking.
And Filipinos deserve to know who is writing the script… and who is profiting from it.
As the Duterte bloc often emphasizes:
“Transparency is not optional — it is duty.”

VINCE DIZON NADAWIT: LEVISTE LINKS HIM TO FLOOD-CONTROL PROJECTS — ANO NA NAMAN ‘TO, PILIPINAS?
Another day, another revelation — and this time, ang pangalan ni Vince Dizon ang sumabit.
Batangas Rep. Leandro Leviste, ang pinakabagong “whistle warrior” ng Kongreso, has once again dropped another bombshell:
Ayon sa kanya, konektado si Vince Dizon sa mga flood-control projects na ngayon ay sentro ng imbestigasyon.
Kung dati puro politiko ang tinuturo, ngayon umaabot na ang kontrobersiya sa dating BCDA head, testing czar, at “go-to technocrat” ng nakaraang administrasyon.
🔍 Ano raw ang nakita ni Leviste?
Based on DPWH records and congestion of NEP project proponents, Leviste claims:
may projects na allegedly naka-link sa mga tao at network ni Vince Dizon,
may insertions na hindi galing sa DPWH engineers, pero may bigat at pwersa ng “VIP recommendation”,
at may patterns sa flood-control items na highly questionable.
Sa madaling salita:
Projects that look more political than technical.

💣 Why does this matter?
Because flood-control projects are the single biggest source of ghost, overpriced, and recycled spending in the country.
At kung may big names na nahihila dito…
aba, hindi na simpleng anomaly —
system-level corruption na ‘to.
⚠️ Vince Dizon’s name entering the chat = HIGH STAKES
Hindi ito ordinaryong pangalan.
Dizon is connected to:
BCDA projects
“Build, Build, Build”
Duterte admin
Private contractors
Foreign negotiations
Big-ticket infra
Kaya kapag nasabit ang pangalan niya?
Mararamdaman ang alon hanggang Malacañang, Senado, at even private sector.
🥊 Leviste’s message is loud:
Walang “untouchable” sa investigation.
At kung sino man ang kumabit sa flood-control rackets — whether Marcos ally, Duterte ally, technocrat, contractor, o fixer — lahat ng pwedeng masabit, masasabit.
💡 The Truth Principle (Luke 12:2)
“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed.”
Hindi man natin alam ang buong kwento ngayon,
pero habang lumalabas ang pangalan ng mga high-ranking personalities…
pinatutunayan ng Diyos at kasaysayan: kapag panahon ng pagbulgar, walang makakatago.
This isn’t about colors —
This is about justice, truth, accountability, and national dignity.
Kung may nilamon ang baha, sana hindi bayan.
Sana hindi pag-asa ng mga Pilipino.
At sana pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito…
bumaha naman ang katotohanan.
