De la Vega said among the 10 local government units from eight provinces they have visited in the country, only Dauin showed a very positive support to the program.

| CHR-NegOr doubts The Commission on Human Rights has received an unsubscribed complaint from families of alleged human rights victims in the hinterland barangays of Sta. Catalina, Negros Oriental. Special investigator Jess Cañete of the CHR said that attached to the complaint is an unsigned fact-finding result conducted by the human rights group Karapatan and the Promotion of Church Peoples Response. Cañete said he is doubtful about the contents of the complaint affidavit, and he wants to get it straight from the supposed complainants themselves. |
