There once lived a fierce hunter who hunt with his faithful dog Maliksi. Both dog and master lived along the lower south-weastern shoulder of Asog along the Boie' river that is now more popularly called Barit river. Sarikaw as he was known in his village was born with bowed-right arm. Sikaw is the term his people use to refer to 'bowed-arm'. So the name Sarikaw. While he was growing up other children would make fun of his deformity. So he grew up closer to his pet animals more than to other people. He is able to relate better to his animal pets more than to people. He grew up a loner with great wild-game hunting skills. His faithful hunting companion was his hunter dog Maliksi who was flit and fierce on the hunt just like his master and trainer - Sarikaw!
