Barangay staff member Edgar Becson revealed that he joined the festivities as a kid. Ato, 12, who joined the contests, said "Okay lang din kasi natural lang naman sa piyesta iyan eh (It's okay since it's natural to do that during fiestas)." Benjamin Buenviaje, father of the incumbent barangay chair, as well as former barangay captain, also said, " Mga bata naman iyan kaya walang malisya sa amin (They're kids so there's no malice)."Īccording to the report, the festival has been going on for some time. However, the report said that residents of Guitnang Bayan 2 found nothing wrong with their festival. Photos were even uploaded on Facebook but were soon taken down when a concerned citizen made comments about child abuse. Barangay officials facilitated the event while Barangay Captain Leo Buenviaje looked on. Some of the festivities included racing through the streets stark-naked filling soda bottles with pee in front of an audience and a palosebo game, where the boys were tasked to climb a tall pole in only their underwear. The festival, held on June 13 at Barangay Guitnang Bayan 2, San Mateo, is now being questioned for child abuse.
