Alkalde ng Bayan 1993

Directed by Noli S. Salvador

A botched ambush on Lander (Dan Fernandez) and his family underscores the intensity of political rivalries in their province. Lander's father happens to be the town mayor and the corrupt incumbent governor (Ramil Rodriguez) sees him as a potential threat to his continued plunder in the province. Lander is sent to Manila to study and soon, his parents get worried because he is reputed to be engaging in several vices including drinking and gambling. He is encouraged by the governor's niece Belinda (Bunny Paras). But what if it turns out that Lander's bad boy act is only for show? He wants to get close to Belinda and the governor's goons to get information to put them away.
