THE Sandiganbayan’s Sixth Division has ordered the arrest of Davao del Norte Rep. Antonio Floirendo Jr. over a graft case involving the 2003 lease deal entered into by the lawmaker’s Tagum Agricultural Development Co. (Tadeco) with the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor).

Floirendo, in a statement, lashed out at Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, accusing his former ally of abuse of power. Floirendo posted bail, which was set by the court at P30,000.
