Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral was tagged as one of the key players in budget insertions that paved the way for the flood control mess and calls to secure all her files following her death are mounting in search for truth and accountability.

Acting PNP chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. assured the public that all findings from the Cabral files will undergo a thorough forensic examination.

"The Filipino people have spoken and the message is loud and clear: Truth, transparency and accountability. The Philippine National Police has been assisting all investigative bodies in this effort and in this case, we will be of service again to secure what needs to be secured within the bounds of the law," he emphasized.
