Justice Undersecretary Jose "Jojo" Cadiz Jr. has resigned from his post, which the Palace confirmed on Friday, December 5.

A previous report alleged that Cadiz had ties to a construction company that secured approximately P200 million worth of projects despite being established in 2023.
Palace press officer Undersecretary Claire Castro confirmed Cadiz's resignation, noting that the allegations had yet to be discussed by the president.
Castro stated that the administration welcomes any investigation into the matter.
She added that officials facing allegations should voluntarily step aside as a sign of respect to the president and the public.
