Very,Un-Filipino,'Tradition'

LAST week, a lot of people in my social media network were talking about San Juan City's annual celebration of the 'Basaan' Festival held on June 24, 2024. In particular, revelers in San Juan were caught on video blatantly splashing water on people who looked like they were headed for work or school.

I observed from the videos — judging solely on appearances — that the most enthusiastic and undisciplined participants in the festival are people from a certain socioeconomic class.
