Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. yesterday said Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella should ask the Department of Interior and Local Government why he was not invited to be part of the Technical Working Group of the Negros Island Region.
Puentevella said he was not consulted, informed or invited to the TWG so if there are complaints about the way the partition of the regional offices were made between Negros Occidental and Oriental, Bacolod should not be blamed.
The regional offices to be located in Negros Oriental should have sub offices in Bacolod, and their regional directors should be made to spend time on the Occidental side too, Puentevella said.

CHR to probe HR violations
in Sta. Catalina encounters
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Negros Oriental Commission on Human Rights chief, Jess Cañete, will investigate “motu proprio” (by his own initiative) the purported human rights violations in Sta. Catalina town, after an encounter between government troops and suspected New People's Army rebels about two weeks ago.
He said yesterday he will again visit Barangay Talalak in Sta. Catalina town this week to further investigate allegations of human rights (HR) violations allegedly committed by soldiers of the Army's 79 th Infantry Battalion.
He said that last week, he already started questioning some people there to determine if there were casualties after two days of sporadic clashes between soldiers and alleged rebels June 13 and 14 in Talalak.
