COTABATO CITY - A number of barangays in Pikit, North Cotabato and neighboring towns in the province are flooded since Thursday after the nearby 220,000-hectare Liguasan Delta overflowed due to heavy, recurring downpours in mountain ranges around.
The Liguasan Delta is a catch basin for more than a dozen rivers that springs from hinterlands around central Mindanao.
The delta drains via rivers flowing downstream to the west coast of Cotabato City.
