George Calvelo, ABS-CBN News/File</div>MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday announced that the Court of Appeals has issued a freeze order against the bank accounts and assets of Benguet Rep. Eric Yap and ACT-CIS Rep. Edvic Yap as authorities probe their alleged involvement in anomalous flood control projects.Silverwolves Construction Corporation — a contracting firm, which Eric Yap supposedly divested from — got P16-billion worth of contracts between 2022 and 2025 alone, Marcos Jr. said, noting that most of these were flood control projects.“Sakop ng freeze order ang mga account atari-arian ng Silverwolves Construction Corporation at Sky Yard Aviation Corporation, pati na rin ang mga personal accounts at assets ng mga indibidwal na sangkot sa imbestigasyon — kabilang sina Congressman Eric Yap at Edvic Yap,” the President said.“Kabuuang 280 bank accounts ang na-freeze, 22 insurance policies, 3 securities accounts at 8 sasakyang panghimpapawid, kabilang ang mga eroplano at helicopter na konektado sa Sky Yard Aviation,” he said. “Kailangan natin ang mga freeze order na ito  para hindi maibenta ang mga ari arian at para maibalik natin sa wting mga kababayan ang bawat pisong pinaghihinalaang ninakaw,” he added.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2025/10/23/dpwh-to-file-charges-against-22-gov-t-officials-contractors-1713">READ: DPWH files charges against 22 gov&#x27;t officials, contractors in flood control scandal</a></div>Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla earlier said that while Eric Yap has divested from Silverwolves, the lawmaker is still believed to be the beneficial owner of the contracting firm.“He divested from it a few years ago, supposedly, but there is reason to suspect that he&#x27;s still the beneficial owner of the company, so there&#x27;s a clear case of conflict of interest, punishable also under Republic Act 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act),” Remulla told reporters in October.Remulla added that the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) also found Edvic Yap to have received tranches of money from contractors Pacifico and Cezarah Discaya, who earlier confessed to colluding with lawmakers to earn kickbacks from anomalous flood control projects.“Magkapatid ‘yan, Eric and Edvic Yap… so nakita namin may pattern talaga na meron talaga silang kinalaman sa mga kontrata kasi ‘yung transmittal ng pera, galing sa Discaya,” the Ombudsman said in an earlier interview.In September, Orly Guteza — a former member of resigned Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co’s security team — told senators that Eric Yap delivered 46 cash-filled suitcases to Co’s residence in Pasig City.Yap has since denied the allegations, saying that he would “welcome the chance to face the witness who implicated me, but in the proper forum and under proceedings where my constitutional rights are respected.”<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2025/10/24/bulacan-solon-pleyto-condemns-claim-he-got-remittances-from-discayas-0948">READ: Bulacan solon Pleyto condemns claim he got ‘remittances’ from Discayas</a></div>The Yaps endorsed Marcos Jr. for president in the 2022 national elections.In the 2025 midterm elections, Yap ran for Benguet representative under the Lakas-CMD, a party under the control of Marcos Jr.’s cousin and former House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
