The Office of the Ombudsman ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to submit and turn over all computers and devices issued to former undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral.

Ombudsman spokesperson Mico Clavano said upon turnover, these devices will be subjected to forensic examination by a law enforcement agency to determine whether any data was altered, deleted, or tampered with after the Flood Control Scandal was first made public.

He added they expect prompt and full compliance from the DPWH.

Cabral, who has been linked to anomalous flood control projects, was found on December 18 “unconscious and unresponsive” 20 to 30 meters below a highway hours after she instructed her driver to leave her at a portion of Kennon Road in Tuba, Benguet.

She was later pronounced dead shortly after midnight on December 19.

Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said Cabral surveyed the ravine in Tuba, which may indicate the “seriousness of the intent” to jump to her death.

However, the Philippine National Police earlier said that while some evidence points to a possible suicide, its investigation is still ongoing and no conclusion has yet to be reached.
