The death of former Philippine Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) undersecretary Catalina Cabral has triggered widespread public attention after police confirmed she was found dead following an alleged fall from a mountain road in Benguet province.
Benguet police said Cabral's remains were recovered at around 12.30am on Kennon Road, a steep and winding highway in northern Philippines linking Baguio City to the lowlands. Authorities stated she was earlier found 'unconscious and unresponsive' approximately 20 to 30 metres below the road, hours after she was last seen alive.
