yesterday started conducting a fact-finding mission to the mauling and
beating up of five NBI agents from Bacolod City and two officials from
the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation, by policemen from Pamplona,

This developed as four charges were filed yesterday against
the NBI -Bacolod agents (see story page 1).

has also been ordered to conduct its own independent probe into the
matter.
