Family seeks compassion, privacy after Cabral’s death
Atty. Mae Divinagracia, counsel for the late former Public Works and Highways Undersecretary Cathy Cabral, has urged the public to show compassion, restraint, and humanity following Cabral's death.
Divinagracia emphasized that Cabral's family is dealing with immense grief under difficult circumstances.
She pleaded for sensitivity and respect for personal boundaries, stating that it is not the appropriate time to hastily seek answers from the deceased's personal belongings.
Divinagracia pointed out that no legal complaints have been filed against Cabral, making the calls to seize her phone and other personal effects unwarranted.
The family is also requesting the swift release of Cabral's remains to allow them to mourn privately and proceed with her burial with dignity and peace.
