Youngsters play a bizarre game called the 'peanut butter challenge' in which they have to lick the food from each other's faces.

The first one to finish removing all of the spread from their partner's face is the winner.

Footage of the weird game was captured at a town festival celebrating the region's patron saint in Lower Bicutanm, Manila, the Philippines on October 6.

Local resident Edward Amante said that their town plans to make the game a yearly event after it was such a hit in last year's fiesta.

He said: "The boys volunteer to play the game, and their parents know about it and spectate, too.

''We also have different games for the children aside from the peanut butter challenge." One of the most popular forms of celebrations in the Philippines is through fiestas, or feast, which take place in small towns to mark religious and non-religious events.
