DAVAO CITY, Davao del Sur, Philippines — The Supreme Court has reversed the conviction meted out to former Davao del Norte Rep. Antonio Floirendo Jr. by the Sandiganbayan in 2020. In its ruling on Jan. 23, 2023, a copy of which was only obtained by the Inquirer on April 2, the high tribunal's Second Division ruled in favor of Floirendo, saying he should not be held liable for having 'nominal shareholding' in the banana plantation company that has entered into a contract with a government entity.
