Lampitok is a character in a locally, cordillera locality, animation film.

I was once asked "What/Who is Lampitok?"
I cannot give a perfect answer but I heard from my kiddie kins that Lampitok is a name of a character in a locally produced animation film. They were uttering a line which is something like "Ay enayan ito" which I understand is a remark that Lampitok once in a while states in the film.
"Ay enayan ito" is a fusion of the Kankanaey "ay enayan" and the Tagalog "ito". Figuratively, since the remark is address to someone in a scene, "ay enayan ito" translates to "you are not doing it carefully" or "you are not being cautious".
