[Title] => Osmeña fires consultant over P50,000 bribe joke
[Summary] => CEBU CITY One of two councilors offered a supposed bribe by a consultant to Mayor Tomas Osmeña has agreed with the consultant that the offer was a joke.
Councilor George Rama told The Freeman he did not take Arturo Barrit seriously when the consultant offered him and fellow councilor Gerardo Carillo P50,000, saying it was all said in jest.
But that is small consolation to Barrit because Osmeña saw no laughing matter in the joke and asked his consultant to resign.
