These projects may be realized under the plan of Davao del Norte Second District Rep. Alan R. Dujali, DPPF Corrections Head Chief Supt. Julie May C. Taguiam said on Thursday, April 8.
Taguiam said in a meeting last Monday, April 5, Congressman Dujali “informed the officers of his plan to build a P3-million infirmary project for CIW (Correctional Institute for Women)-Mindanao possibly next year and the plan for a Housing Project for DPPF officers and personnel.”
DPPF, then the Davao Penal Colony, has a land area of 30,000 hectares with a prison reservation of 8,000 hectares. It is under the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor).

The Sandiganbayan Sixth Division has affirmed the graft conviction of former Davao Del Norte Rep. Antonio “Tonyboy” Floirendo Jr., who was found guilty over the irregular land deal between his family and the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) back in 2003.
In a resolution issued last Jan. 22, the anti-graft court denied Floirendo’s motion to reconsider its decision that sentenced the former legislator to six to eight years in prison and perpetually disqualified him from holding public office.
Also denied by the court was his motion for oral arguments.

In his motion, Floirendo said that Section 14 Article VI of the Constitution prohibits members of the Congress to use his or her official position to influence the execution of a contract or grant of a franchise.
