Kapuso Comedy Genius Michael V wasted no time turning one of the nation’s hottest controversies into comedy, spoofing embattled contractor Sarah Discaya—dubbed online as the “Flood Control Queen”—in the latest episode of ‘Bubble Gang’, the country’s longest-running gag show.
“Ang pinag-uusapan ng lahat, pinangalanan na! ” the show teased in its promotional post on X, introducing Michael V’s parody character Ciala Dismaya.

The satirical sketch is a play on Discaya’s Senate Blue Ribbon Committee appearance, where she and her husband Curlee were grilled over their alleged involvement in ghost flood control projects and their family’s display of luxury cars.
The timing could not be more perfect. Over the past week, Filipinos have been buzzing about Discaya’s demeanor at the hearing, with memes pointing out her uncanny resemblance to Michael V himself. Netizens joked that her mannerisms, hairstyle, and even facial expressions seemed tailor-made for a Bubble Gang spoof—something the show clearly delivered on.
The spoof highlights what Filipino comedy has long excelled at: turning political scandal into biting satire. As one fan wrote in the comments, “Sa dami ng binaha, buti na lang may tawa pa tayong makukuha.”
Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding the Discaya family continues to make headlines, from alleged links to Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials to their viral car collection, which prompted a Bureau of Customs raid at their Pasig compound.
