In the heart of the Philippines lies a town that comes alive every June with vibrant colors, lively music, and exuberant dances. Betis, Guagua, Pampanga, known for its rich cultural heritage, is home to the unique and spirited Kuraldal festival. This annual celebration honors San Juan Bautista (St. John the Baptist), the patron saint of Betis, and offers a captivating experience that combines devotion, history, and a joyful expression of faith.
As part of the festival’s traditions, the joyous celebration extends beyond the church grounds and spills onto the streets of Betis. Here, locals and visitors alike engage in the basaan, a playful act of splashing water on one another. This ritual symbolizes the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in the Jordan River and provides relief from the summer heat and humidity. Laughter, camaraderie, and a sense of unity.
