TUBA, Benguet — Former DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina E. Cabral was found dead at a ravine along Kennon Road, Camp 5, here on Thursday evening, December 18, 2025.

Benguet police director Col. Lambert Suerte claimed Ms. Cabral’s driver, Ricardo Munos Hernandez reported the incident.

Ms. Cabral and her driver, police found out, were traveling toward La Union at around 3:00 p.m. when the former DPWH official asked to stop at Maramal, Camp 5, in Tuba.

Ms. Cabral reportedly instructed Mr. Hernandez to leave her while he proceeded to a nearby gasoline station.

Mr. Hernandez returned to the area at around 5:00 p.m. but failed to find Ms. Cabral.

He drove back to a Baguio hotel where they came from but did not find Ms. Cabral. He then drove back to the site where she left Ms. Cabral at 3 p.m. before reporting the matter to the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) Station 8 along Camp 8 in Baguio City at approximately 7:00 p.m.

Baguio City policemen immediately conducted a search operation and discovered Ms. Cabral around 8:00 p.m. lying unconscious and unresponsive near the Bued River, an estimated 20 to 30 meters below the highway.

Members of the Tuba Municipal Police Station, Tuba Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) retrieved Ms. Cabral and brought her to a funeral parlor in Irisan barangay Baguio City.

The Benguet Provincial Forensic Unit has undertaken crime scene investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Police has reportedly held Ms. Cabral’s driver for further questioning upon the request of her family.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks.

In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
