Thirty-one barangays in Pikit received one unit of multicab each from the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines.
In a simple ceremony conducted at the Pikit Municipal Plaza last June 7,
Cotabato Gov. Emmylou “Lala” Taliño-Mendoza turned-over the said
multicabs. She was joined by Pikit Mayor Sumulong Sultan and his wife,
Board member Dulia D. Sultan, President of the Association of Barangay
Captains Federation -Cotabato Chapter).
The recipient barangays are Punol, Damalasak, Langayen, Tinutulan,
Bulol, Balong, Bulod, Macabual, Talitay, Balungis, Balatican, Lagunde,

Bagoinged, Kolambog, Katilacan, Gligli, Nalapaan, and Poblacion.
In her message, Governor Taliño-Mendoza said “these multicabs are not
to be used in going to the beaches and or malls.” She stressed that the
multi-cabs were given to the barangays to be used in emergency cases
like transporting patients to the hospitals and for mobility during
disasters like floods and for relief operations.
Speaking on behalf of TUCP Representative Raymond Democrito Mendoza,
TUCP Regional Vice President Jessie Pagaran said that he hopes that the
multicabs will serve their purpose for the people of Pikit.
Mayor Sultan, on the other hand, thanked the provincial government of
Cotabato and the TUCP partylist for the support given to their
municipality. He also urged the barangay chairmen to show more support
in the goal of promoting good governance so that incentives like this
will be given to them in the future.
More infrastructure projects turned over
On the same day in Pikit, Governor Taliño-Mendoza turned over 2
barangay health stations and three multi-purpose buildings to barangays
Balungis, Nunguan, Balatican, Macabual and Talitay.
Talitay Barangay Chairman Sabil T. Mokamad expressed his gratitude to
Governor Taliño-Mendoza for visiting their place adding that Governor
Taliño-Mendoza is the first governor to provide help and support to
their barangay. Mokamad also requested for the electrification of their
community as an added favor from the governor.
In response to Mokamad’s request, the governor said she will not
promise but will find a way to initiate the electrification project in
their barangay. This was the same assurance the governor gave to other
“no-electricity-barangays” she already visited.
Also present during the turn over ceremonies were Vice Governor
Gregorio T. Ipong, Board Members Cristobal Cadungon, Celestino R.
Rapacon, Noel S. Baynosa, Eliseo D. Garcesa, and Onofre L. Respicio.sgjh
