🚨 THE “DEADLY” DASHCAM: The Final 3:25 PM Footage of Usec. Cabral, The Duterte “DPWH Leaks,” and the Truth Behind the ₱1 Billion Secret Projects! 🚨
TUBA, BENGUET — The date is Saturday, December 27, 2025, and the mountain air of Benguet is thick with the stench of a scandal that reaches the very highest corridors of power. In a DIS TV world-exclusive investigative feature, we are breaking down the latest, chilling evidence in the mysterious death of former DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral.
Was it the crushing weight of depression, or was she a woman who knew too much about a ₱1 Billion web of corruption? As a new NBI dashcam footage surfaces, the “Duterte DPWH Leaks” have exploded online, dragging Vice President Sara Duterte, Congressman Pulong Duterte, and Attorney Harry Roque into a storm of “Inappropriate Interventions.” The investigation is live—keep reading!
I. THE FINAL MOMENTS: 3:25 PM at the Edge of the Abyss
The NBI has officially released a “High-Value” piece of evidence: a dashcam video from a passing vehicle that captures the final image of Usec. Cabral alive.
The Position of Despair: At 3:25 PM on December 18, 2025, Cabral was spotted sitting on the concrete pavement between two safety barriers. She was alone, without a vehicle, staring into the Tuba Binggit ravine.
The “Jump” Protocol: Investigators note that her position changed from earlier sightings. Previously, she was seen standing or sitting on top of the barrier. In this final frame, she is huddled on the ground—a position the NBI believes confirms she was “ready to leap.”
The Planned Exit: Evidence from her Baguio hotel room revealed a grim toolkit of despair: anti-depressants and insomnia medication. Experts suggest these drugs, while meant to heal, can trigger suicidal ideation under extreme “Emotional Strain.”
II. THE “DPWH LEAKS”: The ₱1 Billion Paper Trail
Why would a high-ranking official choose the ravine over her career? The answer may lie in the “DPWH Leaks”—a massive dossier of documents detailing 2020 budget requests.
The “Mayor” Requests: The leaks allege that while sitting as Davao City Mayor, Sara Duterte requested 16 line items worth ₱1 Billion. Two of these projects were reportedly listed under the names “Mayor Sara Z. Duterte/RD Alan Borromeo.”
The “Pulong” Connection: Not to be outdone, Congressman Paulo “Pulong” Duterte is linked to another 16 line items totaling ₱764 Million. Our investigation found a ₱3 Million project for a “multi-purpose building” that was listed as “Rehabilitation” in the request but “Completed” in the final audit. Where did the money go?
The Roque Factor: Even former Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque is in the crosshairs, with four requested items across Ifugao, Batangas, Cavite, and Laguna. Two of these, worth ₱2 Million each, reportedly slipped into the General Appropriations Act (GAA).
III. THE “INSERTION” WAR: Sara Duterte’s Defenses Crumbled?
Vice President Sara Duterte has long maintained that she has “Zero Insertions” in the 2024 and 2025 budgets. But our investigation reveals a different “Real Talk” truth.
The “Outside the Blanket” Theory: Sara only has “zero insertions” now because she is no longer “close to the cook.” As the saying goes, “If you are near the stove, you get the charcoal.”
The 2022 Precedent: Upon taking office in 2022, Sara reportedly asked President Marcos for more funds, claiming Leni Robredo left her with “only” ₱400 Million. PBBM, then in “Good Terms,” granted her ₱125 Million in Confidential Funds, which she reportedly spent in just 11 days.
The ₱2.3 Billion Peak: In 2023, while she was still “lambing-lambing” (affectionate) with the administration, her OVP budget soared to ₱2.3 Billion with ₱500 Million in Confidential Funds. The “Clean” image of the Dutertes is being challenged by the very documents Cabral was allegedly ready to testify about.
IV. THE “CONFIDENTIAL” COVER-UP: The DepEd Ghost Receipts
The corruption probe extends beyond the DPWH and into the Department of Education (DepEd) under Sara’s previous leadership.
The AFP Denial: Sara claimed ₱15 Million was donated to the AFP for “Youth Summits.” However, in a stunning Congressional confrontation, the AFP denied receiving a single centavo from DepEd for such summits.
The “Bogus” Receipts: COA (Commission on Audit) has flagged thousands of “Acknowledgement Receipts” with suspicious names. Is this the “Mental Wellness” crisis Sara is talking about—the fear of being caught?
The Cabral Link: Investigators believe Usec. Cabral was the “Important Person” who could “connect the dots” between the anomalous flood control projects and the political proponents who requested them. Her death has silenced a primary witness for the anti-corruption campaign.
V. FINAL VERDICT: The “Haggard” Truth
As of Sunday, December 28, 2025, the DIS TV investigation into the “Cabral-Duterte Nexus” leads to one chilling conclusion:
Cabral was a “Living Archive”: Her knowledge of the 2020-2023 budget insertions made her a target for immense “Threats and Pressure.”
The Dashcam is the Closure: The NBI is leaning toward suicide triggered by “Depression,” but the cause of that depression was the corruption she was forced to witness.
The Duterte Dynasty is Shaking: With ₱1 Billion in leaked DPWH projects and the DepEd “Ghost Receipts” surfacing, the “DDS” defense of “Malinis si Sarah” (Sara is clean) is hitting a wall of evidence.
To the Filipino People: Do not be distracted by “Mental Wellness” rhetoric. Look at the dashcam. Look at the line items. The “Star Witness” may be gone, but the documents she left behind are starting to speak.
