Wattah Wattah Festival is a commemoration of the birth of Saint John (San Juan) The Baptist, who cleansed and prepared the people for the coming of Jesus Christ by baptizing them with water, thus part of the celebration is the traditional dousing of water (thus, the festival is also called Basaan) to passersby or unsuspecting commuters and visitors, supposedly to remind them of their baptism. Children and young adults also engage in “water wars” using water pistols.  Residents also flock to the streets in San Juan City to enjoy a water shower being doused by roaming fire trucks.

Aside from the traditional “basaan” activities, other events are also lined up for the festival, including a grand parade of colors, the yearly inter-barangay street dancing competition, St. John the Baptist procession, and a street party at night.

Meanwhile, some local government units in Albay and select schools also announced class suspensions on Monday in anticipation of the planned transport strike or tigil pasada by transport groups to protest against government’s jeepney modernization and phaseout.
