"Hello, citizens of Macrohon. I am proud to announce to you that we gave lands to our farmers a week ago. This is to make sure that no one will be a hunger to death." The Mayor said to the people when he gives a report about the improvement of their place.
People are cheering and shouting because of what the Mayor just did. Many citizens adore his leadership and his hard work for the town. Many people love this Mayor because of his passion to help the poor. He said that this Mayor is not a corrupt one like the previous Mayor. Well, every citizen can tell how good he is.

"Mayor, what do you think is the reason for the killing in our town. The dead bodies were accused as drug addicts but the family said they're not." One of the reporter interviews the Mayor in his office.
"For now, I have no idea yet. I wasn't in the crime when it happened and also this incident is new to me." The Mayor replied.
"But Mayor, someone witnessed it and said--" The reporter follow-up his question but stopped when the Mayor suddenly speaks.
"Then what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing Mayor." The reporter leaves without having useful information to report.
The reporter was not contented of what the Mayor said to him. He needs something truthful or at least believable information to put in his report. While he is walking in the town to gain more information. He passes two people that are talking about the crime.
"Did you know that people who were killed in our town were drug users?" Said by the other man and the reporter looks curious so he remains standing not far from those people while puffing cigarettes. He is listening to the conversation with these two people.
"Huh, really---??" The other man is surprised about it.
"Yeah, you didn't know that the people got killed yesterday was rampant in selling drugs in our place. He was very popular if you wanted to buy drugs."
"I didn't know about that but still they were people. They had lives that must be given a chance to live."
The conversation continues as the reporter silently listening to the conversation. He turned on his phone recorder to record the conversation even though it's not that loud.
"Didn't you heard when the Mayor was still running as a candidate to be a Mayor before? He mentioned that in his time as a Mayor it will be bloody because he wants the town to be free from drugs and it will be peaceful. He was mad about the crimes going on in our town because of those drugs."
The other one is just listening while his companion seems knowledgeable about what's happening in their town. He didn't know what to say so he after his companion said what he knew. He just replied calmly.
"Well, the Mayor has a point of doing that because many drug addicts in town are not afraid."
The two people finished their conversations and left. The reporter is thinking that he might not want to cover it for his report to come. He realises that this is not about making a good report. It's about accepting the feeling of the citizens in this matter. He just starts walking and thinking to find another topic to report.
