People 1 catches People 2 from falling down the stairs which would lead to his death sacrificing a pot of food for the homeless, People were shocked on what happened and the pot of food landed near a pot of plants, everything was sopping wet and people helped clean up the mess but the wetness stays behind. The Bisayas heard what happened and visited the area and said "What the ****? Someone overwatered the plants." No one cared and people just ignored her stupidity because she's Bisaya and do not want to trigger their entitlement.
