00:00Several House Solons are calling for a legislative inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of former DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral, this under the recently filed House Resolution No. 606.
00:15Yusek Cabral's body was recovered from a ravine on December 19, 2025, an incident lawmakers deemed suspicious given her reported material knowledge of allegedly anomalous, substandard, or non-existent flood control projects.
00:31House Senior Deputy Minority Leader Representative Edgar Erice expressed concern that mishandling the case could lead to the silencing of other potential witnesses or whistleblowers.
00:44Meanwhile, Representative Leila de Lima clarified the inquiry is not about Yusek Cabral's criminal liability, but to investigate the many theories surrounding her death.
00:55The resolution directs the House committees on good government and public accountability and public works and highways to jointly conduct the probe.
