Base sa pamantayang ito, hindi pasok si Discaya dahil wala siyang kasalukuyang posisyon sa gobyerno.</p><p>Isang negosyante si Discaya at may-ari siya ng private construction company na St. Gerrard General Contractor and Development Corporation.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/10/7/owner-of-st-gerrard-corp-formalizes-bid-for-pasig-city-mayor-1651" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Owner of St. Gerrard Corp. formalizes bid for Pasig City mayor</strong></a></div><p>Hindi rin malinaw ang pagkakakilanlan ng mga nabanggit sa references na PASIGPH CHAPTER at PHILTECHDEV TRANSPARENCY SURVEY.
