The investigation into Jojo Cadiz’s contractor conflict of interest

2025/12/08 10:54

MANILA, Philippines – After resigned congressman Zaldy Co published several videos, among them accusing President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of earning kickbacks from corrupt infrastructure projects, investigators were quick to downplay them because they were not made under oath. Co is also evading an arrest warrant, and the President has dared him to come home, while denying the allegations.

Among the names Co mentioned is a “Usec Jojo Cadiz,” a Marcos-appointed undersecretary at the Department of Justice. Cadiz is a low profile undersecretary, but he was floated as a sure pick for either ombudsman or justice secretary. He has been with Marcos since the latter was a senator.

Rappler looked into Cadiz some more and found a conflict of interest. There is a construction company named after him, his wife, and his son. It is a contractor of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with at least P250 million worth of projects, all in Ilocos Norte. The company is registered under the name of his son, who was just 19 years old during the company’s incorporation in 2023.

Cadiz’s resignation was announced the day after we published the story.

The Future of Secure Messaging: Why Decentralization Matters

The Future of Secure Messaging: Why Decentralization Matters

The post The Future of Secure Messaging: Why Decentralization Matters appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. From encrypted chats to decentralized messaging Encrypted messengers are having a second wave. Apps like WhatsApp, iMessage and Signal made end-to-end encryption (E2EE) a default expectation. But most still hinge on phone numbers, centralized servers and a lot of metadata, such as who you talk to, when, from which IP and on which device. That is what Vitalik Buterin is aiming at in his recent X post and donation. He argues the next steps for secure messaging are permissionless account creation with no phone numbers or Know Your Customer (KYC) and much stronger metadata privacy. In that context he highlighted Session and SimpleX and sent 128 Ether (ETH) to each to keep pushing in that direction. Session is a good case study because it tries to combine E2E encryption with decentralization. There is no central message server, traffic is routed through onion paths, and user IDs are keys instead of phone numbers. Did you know? Forty-three percent of people who use public WiFi report experiencing a data breach, with man-in-the-middle attacks and packet sniffing against unencrypted traffic among the most common causes. How Session stores your messages Session is built around public key identities. When you sign up, the app generates a keypair locally and derives a Session ID from it with no phone number or email required. Messages travel through a network of service nodes using onion routing so that no single node can see both the sender and the recipient. (You can see your message’s node path in the settings.) For asynchronous delivery when you are offline, messages are stored in small groups of nodes called “swarms.” Each Session ID is mapped to a specific swarm, and your messages are stored there encrypted until your client fetches them. Historically, messages had a default time-to-live of about two weeks…
