00:00The Basaan Festival was held in San Juan City this Monday.
00:10Someone was arrested for smoking muriatic acid.
00:14Is there anything that should be changed in the tradition of Basaan?
00:18We asked the Barangay Saksi Online.
00:25What is the source of joy for those who are addicted to Basaan in San Juan City?
00:30It is the rain of batikos and complaints, followed by the force of Hamba Basasailan.
00:35The Basaan in Wata Wata Festival is part of the celebration of the feast of St. John the Baptist,
00:41patron saint of the city every June 24.
00:44A few years ago, the pandemic stopped.
00:47It returned in 2022 and was canceled again in 2023
00:51as a consideration to El Niño.
00:55In this year's comeback,
00:57private and public vehicles are not safe.
01:00Motorcyclists are wet.
01:03A rider used a water gun.
01:06Another rider even poured water.
01:09Those partying opened the trunk of the jeepney
01:12and there were people who spat on the vehicle.
01:15I was happy. It's not good.
01:17I was also surprised because it's a foul to open the trunk.
01:20But I just experienced that.
01:23We asked the Kapuso Online.
01:26Is there anything to change in the Basaan in San Juan?
01:30One answer.
01:31How to suspend this activity?
01:34Because it's a bad omen to passers-by and vehicles.
01:38Another said.
01:39Those who use the occasion to get permission from Kapwa should be punished.
01:44The problem is not in tradition but in the will of the people.
01:48Another said.
01:49According to another commenter,
01:50it's okay to follow the guidelines issued by City Hall.
01:54Under City Ordinance No. 51, Series of 2018,
01:58as one of the prohibitions in the Wata Wata Festival,
02:01unruly behavior such as forcibly opening the vehicle
02:06will be fined from Php 2,500 to Php 5,000.
02:11Another said.
02:12I hope there's a place for Basaan, not in the whole of San Juan.
02:18Why didn't a rider turn around after getting wet?
02:22Water! Water!
02:23Moriatic! Moriatic!
02:26Moriatic acid was used.
02:28Moriatic acid is prohibited.
02:30It should be far away.
02:31The one who was hit by the acid
02:33is a viewer in Kasiahan.
02:35I poured my face into a bucket
02:39to wash my face.
02:44My eyes hurt.
02:46My vision was different.
02:50The one who was hit by the acid was arrested
02:53and filed a complaint of physical injuries.
02:56The PNP investigated
02:58that there are suspicions among the participants of the Wata Wata Festival.
03:02This is the reason why he was carrying Moriatic Acid
03:07while passing through the city of San Juan.
03:09During the past years of the festival,
03:13he was getting wet and injured.
03:17He's getting better.
03:24He's getting better, if ever.
03:27He's getting better?
03:28Yes, he's getting better.
03:29The people of Garampista are looking for
03:32people who are in trouble
03:33using videos on social media.
03:35I am the whole of Pagucumbaba
03:38who apologizes to all the people
03:42who were affected or became victims.
03:44Even the LGU stopped those who were affected
03:46from filing a complaint
03:48and said that they will be held accountable.
03:50I'm not categorically saying there's sabotage,
03:53but I'm also not ruling it out.
03:56They are also studying how to improve
03:58the performance of the festival
04:00in the coming years.
04:02For GMA Integrated News,
