The man who became infamous on social media for pouring water on a delivery rider during the ‘Wattah, Wattah’ or Basaan Festival in San Juan last Monday, June 24, decided to take advantage of his popularity.
On June 27, 2024, Boy Dila, or Lexter Castro, decided to use the criticism he received on social media as his stepping stone to become the next big content creator in the Philippines.
His first piece of content was his explanation of the viral video where he was seen trying to tease the delivery rider he was trying to wet during the festival.
According to him, people should stop going to San Juan every June 24 if they didn’t want to face any inconvenience as the festival was already a common knowledge to all Filipino people.
“Unang-una hindi ko sinaktan si Manong, binasa ko lang siya, nagpaalam ako sa kanya, sabi ko ‘babasain kita’ sabi niya ‘hindi pwede kasi may meeting siya’ pero binasa ko parin siya kasi fiesta eh,” he said.
“Wag kayong dadaan ng San Juan kapag June 24, alam naman ng taumbayan ‘yan,” he added.
Several content creators have already expressed their interest in collaborating with Lexter, including the controversial Taragis Takoyaki shop, which also went viral several months ago due to their misleading marketing practices.
Meanwhile, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora reminded the public that they can file complaints against their citizens who showed unruly behavior during the festival.
