Wattah!Wattah! returns in San Juan
MANILA, Philippines — San Juan residents got soaked Monday as the Wattah! Wattah! Festival returned in celebration of the feast of the city's patron saint, St. John the Baptist.
The dousing tradition was canceled by San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora last year due to the El Niño phenomenon.
Residents joined the festivities by spraying water on motorists and passersby.
Three firetrucks who joined the parade doused the crowd.
