BY GILBERT BAYORAN

PNP chief Oscar Calderon has ordered the Task Force USIG to include self-exiled communist rebel leader Jose Maria Sison in the filing of ambush-slay charges against the New People's Army that claimed responsibility for the separate killings of seven civilians in La Libertad, and three more others in Guihulngan, all in Oriental Negros.

This was after Task Force USIG chief Geary Barias also directed the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office to expedite its investigation and filing of cases against the suspects.

Task Force USIG documents not only killings of activists and journalists, but also atrocities allegedly commited by the New People's Army.
