SOAKED. Residents of Barangay San Juan in General Trias, Cavite get splashed with water on Wednesday (June 24, 2026), in celebration of the nativity and feast of St. John the Baptist. John, who baptized Jesus in the River Jordan, was born six months before Jesus, according to the Gospel of Luke, hence the date, as determined by the Christian Church in the 4th century.
