Police Provincial Director, Senior Supt. Augusto Marquez Jr., yesterday challenged a leader of the rebel New People’s Army in Negros Oriental, whose life he had saved several years ago in Bohol, to come and see him.

Marquez said he learned from military intelligence reports that Domingo Compoc alias Ka Cobra, is now based in Negros Oriental.

Marquez said that when he was a young lieutenant and assigned to Bohol, he first met Compoc following a clash between government forces and rebel troops there.
