                    [Summary] => 

Mayor Tomas Osmeña does not have any problems with the police announcement that a bounty would definitely entice witnesses of vigilante-style killings to come out in the open and cooperate with the investigation. 


Yesterday, Osmeña said he welcomed the offer of a P500,000 bounty by private individuals if only to fast track the investigation into the 179 cases of vigilante-style killings in the city since December 2004.
