agree ako dito. just like New Year Fireworks.

dapat may designated areas/roads lang kung sdaan pwede mag-basaan.

Sana mag Ondoy level rains pero ang bahain lang ng todo is San Juan, yun bang tipo nangyari sa Marikina noon na hanggang 2nd floor ng mga bahay inabot ng muddy water. Tapos walang tumulong na ibang cities/municipalities sa NCR.

Watah watah kamo di ba? Let's see how they like it.

criminal case filed na daw: https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/natio...9f7002fb&ei=21

"In his complaint, Rapal said he was performing his duties as a Lalamove rider when he encountered the suspects.

The incident sparked discussion on the importance of mutual respect, consent and civility during festivities such as the Wattah Wattah.

Zamora said the San Juan police station and the Office of the City Prosecutor would handle the case, and both agencies would work together to process the complaint and initiate the necessary legal proceedings.

The incident in question is in violation of San Juan City Ordinance 51, Series of 2018 – An Ordinance Regulating the Wattah Wattah San Juan Fiesta and Providing Penalties Thereof."

Pero ang bababa at katawatawa ng penalties sa ordinansya ...

"The ordinance explicitly prohibits forcibly opening private and public vehicles, threatening and harming people, and shaking or entering any vehicle to throw water.

Violators of the ordinance face a fine of P2,500 and one day of community service for first-time offenders; P3,500 and three days of community service for second-time offenders, and P5,000 and one to six days of imprisonment for third-time offenders."

over the decades of "tradition",
celebrations of this type always had somebodies going overboard.
threats of penalty, have never worked at preventing them.

Gumanti lang yan daw dahil sa ginawa ng pambabasa sa kanya daw last year sa daan na yan.

I saw a guy, they removed his helmet and bandana, poured multiple tabo of water on his head AND SHAMPOO. The taong bayan literally shampooed his hair and rinsed it. Those were at least 10 men surrounding him.

The mere touching of body parts with consent (even non s3xual) feels like assault na.

is it possible,
it was all a show?

[ice15]

again... its always been like this sa San Juan... bawal ang pikon.

I remember the old days nung wala pang centralized locking ang cars. they will try to open you door tapos sewerage water gamit nila


the saddest part is hindi naman si St. John yung Patron Saint ng San Juan - so walang sense yung "water" hahaha


kaka-declare lang nila na Patron saint nila si St. John...

Ah but didn't John the Baptist use water to baptize Jesus? Kaya siguro dun galing yung basaan?

The shampooing? Definitely not. I could see how defeated the man looked like. Sakit sa heart.

SEWERAGE WATER? WTF? So apparently these things lumalabas lang because of social media

How disappointing ang disrespectful ng madaming Pilipino. Wala talagang good manners.

Pero the name of their city is San Juan/St John? Baka because of that?

yes... matagal nang ganito sa San Juan kapag fiesta... pero it was stopped during Covid. and now, we have Social Media (everyone's a reporter now)

and yes, they do it bec of St. John the Baptist, pero this year lang nila naging Patron Saint si St. John... so yung previous years were all "nakasanayan lang"

[Devastator]

There's another story on FB about a person who was on her way to a job interview as an OFW and on the way napadaan sila sa San Juan and she pleaded with the revelrers not to pour water on her but it fell on deaf ears and she ended up showing up to the site soaking wet with her documents drenched and ayun her interview was considered failed and this was a single parent who wanted to give a better life to her kids. Went she went home, everyone daw gave her odd looks and refused to sit beside her because she was soaked all over.

Officially, yes, the city adopted St. John the Baptist as its patron saint recently but for the longest time, the basaan was supposedly due to San Juan being St. John the Baptist.

Which do you think is pleasing to God:

A) rituals of devotion or,
B) living out one's faith and putting it in practice?

I'm pretty sure its the latter.

If hindi mahal ng tao kapwa tao niya, how can one say na mahal niya ang Diyos na hindi niya nakikita?

the practice has been with us, since the 60s (well, that's when i learned to read the 'papers). hindi lang sa san juan, but also in manila (Patron Saint of Quiapo), and the rest of ncr.
initially, the amount of water used was minimal, and it was clean.
then bad-doers started getting ideas...
i recall the city of manila banned the practice (for a while?), because of the escalating malpractice...
