CABRAL FILES: LEVISTE RELEASES SUMMARY OF 2023-2026 ALLOCATIONS
Cavite Governor Jonvic Leviste has released a summarized breakdown of the so‑called “Cabral Files,” detailing allocations for the years 2023 to 2026. The document, made public this week, outlines projected funding for infrastructure, social services, and administrative programs over the four-year period, according to initial information. While the summary does not yet include project-level specifics, it highlights broad spending priorities and indicative amounts per sector.
