The Office of the Ombudsman has ordered the filing of new graft and malversation charges against former Bukidnon Rep. Candido Pancrudo Jr. in connection with the pork barrel controversy.

Pancrudo faces trial for allegedly funneling P49.2 million of his Priority Development Assistance Fund allocations to supposed ghost projects from November 2007 to June 2008.
