THINK TALK: Who Says Pikit is a Troubled Town?

MATALAM, North Cotabato – Pikit is one of 17 towns and one city that comprise the province of North Cotabato. To some, Pikit is equated to a troubled town which may be attributed to the fact that “rido” has been happening here since time immemorial. When there is no shooting encounter, some members of the conflicting clans or families hunt each other and kill any member of the adverse family whenever chanced upon.

It is true that whenever armed encounters happen between the feuding families, people move to safer areas to avoid the stray bullets. This vacated area is referred to by some irresponsible people as ghost area which becomes “ghost town” when picked up by some netizens who do not bother to go to the area to verify the true situation. Commuters who pass by the town everyday could easily negate this.

As the curtain unfolds for the opening number the “Extreme Dancers,” a finalist in Pinoy Got Talent, showcased their amazing moves and acrobatic executions of sports dances to the great delight of the audience.
