John the Baptist, one of the most famous saints in the Catholic Church, is the cousin of Jesus who baptized him in the Jordan River and was later ordered arrested – and beheaded – by King Herod for his fiery words. His feast day is June 24, which is celebrated in San Juan with a water festival called Basaan or Wattah Wattah.
“Reports of chaotic behavior have reached the local government of San Juan, and we are seriously responding to all complaints regarding the Basaan last June 24,” said the LGU in an announcement in Filipino. “Basaan is a religious and cultural tradition that is conducted in San Juan for the annual celebration of the Feast of Saint John the Baptist,” the LGU explained, adding that it “symbolizes the baptism” performed by John the Baptist on Jesus.
