Not all seems to be well among allies of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II has ordered a review of the 25-year lease contract between the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) and Tagum Agricultural Development Inc. (Tadeco) owned by Davao del Norte Rep. Antonio Floirendo Jr., Duterte’s biggest campaign contributor.

Aguirre said he wants to revisit the agreement dating back to the Marcos administration over allegation that Tadeco’s annual lease and profit sharing payments were only a fraction of the prevailing market rate.

“We’re planning to revisit the agreement. I’ve received some complaints on how the deal was grossly disadvantageous to the government,” Aguirre told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The contract between BuCor and Tadeco states that the government will receive a guaranteed payment of P26.542 million annually for using the Davao Penal Colony’s 5,308 hectares of land, or P5,000 per hectare

Tadeco also agreed to give the BuCor a share of the profits from 4.04 centavos to 40.54 centavos per box of exported bananas.

An Inquirer source, however, said the rent Tadeco pays is just a fifth of the prevailing P25,000 per hectare rent, which meant that the government should be getting at least P130 million a year.

Tadeco’s bananas are also sold at $12 per box to China, the Middle East and Japan, the source said, which means the company should be paying more.

Officials from Floirendo’s company have declined to comment on Aguirre’s move, citing the “live contract” they have witn the government.
