If I follow the layout below, it would be difficult for me to access the junction box. The cutout is only 70mm.

It would be a code violation if they weren't. All recessed lights have built in permanently accessible junction boxes. Adding unneeded junction boxes only increases your points of failure. The recessed lights can be daisy chained.

Please post the make and model of your lights or post pictures. If these are 120 volt lights there must be a junction box at the light for connections.

It's a product from the Philippines and we are using 240V. btw My location is Philippines

I want to use the first layout because I thought it would be easy for me to access all junction boxes. My knowledge is limited so I want to know the other method to easily access junction box inside the ceiling.

My last resort is to splice it outside without junction box. Bad idea but I can easily access it.

I missed your location. Your plan is probably okay but I'm not familiar enough with wiring in your area to give a definite answer.
