THE Office of the Ombudsman filed a graft case before the Sandiganbayan against Davao del Norte second district Rep. Antonio Floirendo Jr. for allegedly having financial interests in the renewed agreement between the Tagum Agricultural Development Company (Tadeco) and the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) in 2003.
