Jett Nisay, Marcos impeachment endorser, is public works contractor

Congressman Jernie Jett Nisay, who endorsed the first impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., is a public works contractor whose company secured projects worth P73 million.

Congressman Jernie Jett Nisay, representing the Pusong Pinoy party-list from Bataan, endorsed the first impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on January 19, 2026. The complaint, according to ABS-CBN News, alleges graft and corruption, culpable violation of the Constitution, and betrayal of public trust. It comes amid the flood control corruption scandal, the biggest controversy facing Marcos.

Nisay owns JVN Construction and Trading, registered with the Department of Trade and Industry in January 2022 and based in Central Luzon. A Department of Public Works and Highways database shows the company won P73 million in public works projects in 2021 and 2022, all from the Bataan 2nd District Engineering Office, before Nisay was elected congressman.

In November 2025, Nisay was among eight lawmakers referred by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure and the DPWH to the Office of the Ombudsman for plunder and graft charges. In his first term in the 19th Congress, he was part of the majority and a member of 11 committees, including two he vice-chaired: agriculture and sports, and youth and sports development. He also signed the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, one of 215 lawmakers.

In his second term in the 20th Congress, Nisay moved to the minority and serves as deputy minority leader, giving him ex-officio membership and voting powers in all committees. Pusong Pinoy's 2022 statement of contributions and expenditures declared P7.5 million in contributions, including P3 million from Nisay himself.

The House of Representatives defended its decision not to accept impeachment complaints against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. due to strict procedural rules. The complaints were turned away because Secretary General Cheloy Garafil was abroad. Lawmakers emphasized the formal nature of the process.

The Office of the Ombudsman has filed two sets of cases related to the multibillion-peso flood control scam, but none involve high-ranking officials.
