The SCL Group was founded in the United Kingdom in 1993 but it wasn't until October 2012 that it registered a subsidiary named SCL Elections – which was focused on new technology that can be used for campaigns.
Eva, Istratehiya's president, admitted to Rappler that SCL reached out to them for a possible partnership, and said representatives from both companies finally met in person in 2015. “There were discussions regarding the possibility of working together on some projects, but nothing came out of these exploratory talks,” Eva said.
"While Istratehiya Chairman Atty Taipan Millan hails from Davao, he was not, at any point, part of the President’s campaign," he said. A visit to the listed address showed that it is a co-working office on the 14th floor of the Net Cube building called Regus, where global companies often hire space for their satellite offices but don't have actual staff working there.
Istratehiya has serviced both corporate and political clients – the latter, at the local and national levels, Rappler has independently verified.Asked what was discussed between Nix and Millan during the lunch in 2015, Eva replied:"Our two firms exchanged notes, with the SCL Group bringing to the table knowledge and experience gleaned from campaigns around the world, and the firm contributing its familiarity with Philippine socio-political dynamics," he said.
