Marcos aide with contractor ties quits DOJ
MANILA, Philippines — Justice Undersecretary Jose “Jojo” Cadiz Jr. has tendered his resignation, Palace press officer Undersecretary Claire Castro told a press conference on Friday, December 5.
Cadiz is a longtime aide of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with ties to a two-year-old construction company that bagged hundreds of millions of pesos worth of projects in Ilocos Norte, Cadiz’s and the Marcoses’ home province.
“Sa ating pagkakaalam, siya po ay nagsubmit na ng kanyang resignation (As far as I know, he has submitted his resignation),” Castro said, when asked if Cadiz continues to enjoy the President’s trust and if he will remain with the Department of Justice (DOJ).
As of posting time, Castro could not provide the details of Cadiz’s resignation, or if it had been accepted by Acting Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida.

Cadiz was appointed to the post in 2022, just over a month after Marcos assumed the presidency. Cadiz hails from Ilocos Norte, the bailiwick of the Marcoses, and has extensive ties to not just the President, but the Marcos clan, based on Rappler’s research.
He was part of the President’s legislative team when he served in the Senate. Cadiz had also been tapped by the President’s sister, Senator Imee Marcos, to handle Ilocos Norte’s legal affairs, when the latter was governor.
A Rappler investigation found that a construction company incorporated in 2023 by his then-19-year-old-son bagged at least P250 million in projects in Ilocos Norte.
The 1987 Constitution explicitly prohibits officials of the executive, to include undersecretaries, from being “directly or indirectly…financially interested” in a government contract.
Asked if Marcos had known or had been since made aware of Cadiz’s ties to a major construction firm, Castro said, “We have not talked about that but if there’s a need for investigation on that issue let the investigation be done.”
Former House appropriations chairperson Zaldy Co had earlier accused Cadiz of acting as a bagman for Marcos. – Rappler.com

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For
The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush. Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs. Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
