It was St John the Baptist Festival last June 24, and as usual there were lot of Basaan (water dousing) - supposed to be good clean fun. However, some of the residents jointing the religious celebration seemed to have exceeded their limits, and even provisions of the City Ordinance like wetting jeepney passengers, dousing water to passengers and drivers inside the vehicle. There was even acid throwing incident. A rider filed case for being assaulted while working
Soon cases will be filed vs individuals who were videotaped. We hoped that they will be disciplined and the same shall not be repeated. And we must practice decency and control during such celebrations. It gives bad names to Catholics and Christians.
We have similar celebration in our town fiesta, But we have not done such similar things.
Future celebrators for St John - behave
