The passing away of Mayor Jacky: the Man of Commitment

The Mayor 

Some of the people of La Carlota City were shocked of receiving messages in their messenger that Mayor Jacky died.

I was shocked of receiving that message too. I would like to confirm it for it might be a fake news. I asked personally some of my friends even tricycle drivers. And they had known it known it too.

I went to the plaza in the afternoon. There I saw the Philippine flag is hoisted half-staff. It's only raised that way to show respect for a person who died especially a government officials like the mayor.

Then I was convinced. I felt sorry about it.
