Ex-DPWH undersecretary Cabral found unconscious after alleged fall along Kennon Road
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – Police are investigating an incident involving Maria Catalina Cabral, a former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) undersecretary, who was found unconscious near the Bued River along Kennon Road in Tuba, Benguet, on Wednesday night, December 18.
The Benguet Police Provincial Office (PPO) said Cabral was discovered at around 8 pm, approximately 20 to 30 meters below the highway in the Camp 4 area, following a search by responding police units.
According to police, Cabral had been traveling with her driver earlier in the afternoon when she reportedly asked to stop along Kennon Road and requested to be left there. When the driver later returned and could not locate her, he sought police assistance.
Personnel from the Baguio City Police Office and the Tuba Municipal Police Station conducted a search that led to her discovery near the riverbank. She was found unconscious and unresponsive and was retrieved with the assistance of the Tuba Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office and the Bureau of Fire Protection.
Authorities said the incident is being treated as an alleged fall. The Benguet Provincial Forensic Unit has been notified to conduct scene-of-the-crime processing.
Police said no foul play has been established at this stage, and the investigation is ongoing.
Cabral resigned from the DPWH last September after she was implicated in alleged anomalous budget insertions that enabled anomalous flood control contracts. Another undersecretary claimed that Cabral, along with the DPWH secretaries she served — Mark Villar and Manuel Bonoan — operated a kickback system in contracts awarded or implemented by the department.
In recent weeks, government investigators and law enforcers had been on the trail of former government officials as well as private contractors who are allegedly involved in overpriced, substandard, or ghost flood control projects amounting to billions of pesos under the Duterte and Marcos administrations, but could go as high as more than P1 trillion in the last 15 years. – Rappler.com

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October
The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets. The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
