haha the more you ask them na wag mo saling basain the more na tubig ang itatapon sayo. No consideration kahit mga kapitbahay nilang me pasok and do not celebrate the fiesta eh di pinapatawad.
Trick lang diyan kung taga San Juan ka at ayaw mong mabasa umalis ka ng bahay nyo before 7:30-8 normally doon nagsisimula ang basaan.
One more kung binasa ka na umalis ka na lang huwag ka ng umangal dahil sigurado kuyog ang aabutin mo.

June 27th, 2004 12:35 PM #2it happens only once a year... i say let those ppl have their fun and have their "tradition" even if it's a foolish one... at least, they get to forget about their problems and struggles for a day...
i'm from new manila and i pass through san juan everyday... i've seen a lot of these basaan days and got wet once...
for motorists just remember to roll up your windows and nothing will happen... you'll just get a wet windshield and/or window... this day normally happens during the rainy season so no diff... for those taking public transpo, just avoid the area for that day and take an alternative route...Last edited by turk182; June 27th, 2004 at 01:18 PM.

June 28th, 2004 05:00 PM #3how about those people who DON"T have a car?
how about those people who do NOT have an alternate route going to work?
how about those people who CANNOT afford a taxi going to work?
how about those people who DOESN'T give a damn about these stupid celebrations because he has to earn a living?
and come to think of it, those who are participating in these kind of celebration are those who are not working. kaya walang nangyayari sa Pilipinas eh.

i don't think so ser mazda...
it seems like na pinatatamaan mo yung mga san juan residents/ baluarte ni erap or the estradas...
unfair naman yan kasi di pa si erap ang mayor, nambabasa na talaga sila sa sanjuan tuwing june24 na feast day of their patron saint, john the baptist. and even in balayan, batangas...the festival there is "parada ng lechon", pero bakit may basaan nangyayari? not because gusto lang nila makisabayan sa sanjuan but because their patron saint is saint john as well...
siguro nga nakakainis lang kasi uncomfortable or nakakairita or nakakainis kung mabiktima ka...
come to think of it.... di ba mas marami pa nga mas grabe ginagawa ng ibang bansa sa mga tradisyon nila? isa na rito yung sa spain ba yun, yung BULL RUN... meron pa talagang pwede mamatay at sa japan, yung sasakay sa malaking troso tapos ihuhulog sa bangin...
pero sinisigurado ko na itong mga tradisyon na ito ay hindi nakakababa ng moral ng ating bansa bagkus nakakatulong pa nga dahil naisasalin pa natin sa mga susunod na henerasyon...;)

July 8th, 2004 10:56 AM #7I second what mazdamazda posted.
Sure, these people have their right to withold their "tradition" (a term im using to its extent). Pero they should keep it to themselves. Heck, who would care if these people keep their basaan to themselves. Mag-ihiian pa sila kung gusto nila.
But what people fail to see is the right of others not to participate in these "traditions".
No one should be happy at another's expense. (provided that B party doesnt consent to it)

June 24th, 2008 10:12 AM #14San Juan is my home town, in fact I was also a graduate of San Juan Municipal High School. Every year I ask the same question why the hell would they throw water on a total strangers? I have already witnessed several brawls, stabbings, and gun firing because of this celebration, a festive mood of so called church going people tainted with violence and inconvenience to others. Usually violence will erupt when a baby or an elderly gets wet due to uncontrolled crowds and drunken reveler.

May 8th, 2011 08:43 PM #15yeah, I hate festivals or "fiestas" , I hate how people use it as an excuse for disrupting traffic flow for lavish street parties and for squandering money, Why cant people just celebrate their "fiestas" properly inside their homes and find a spot, like a town square of some sort to do their rituals...sorry for being such a jerk because just this day, I cant get out of my street because of the people blocking it for a basketball game on one side and a drinking spree on another...good thing it rained :D
