Its title is the reverse spelling of the phrase "Takot ako!" (translates to "I'm scared!"); hence, the exclamation point at the beginning. Later on December 4, 2001, !Oka Tokat was reformatted as a comedy horroradventure series.
Plot
The show revolves around a media crew led by Rona del Fierro (played by Agot Isidro) who investigate paranormal cases with the help del Fierro's premonitions. Most of the story arcs feature creatures in Filipino mythology, including the dwende (dwarf), tikbalang, diwata and the engkanto.
Sometime later in the reformat, it now revolves around a group of five children led by Rona's cousin Kyle (played by Emman Abeleda) who has inherited psychic powers from his mother. He is also joined by his new neighbors and friends including Twinkle (played by Shaina Magdayao), Bobong (played by Alwyn Uytingco), Britney (played by Joy Chiong) and Tofu (played by Jiro Manio).
In 2011, ABS-CBN announced that !Oka Tokat will have its sequel entitled "Oka2kat". It was supposed to be aired in March 2011 but it was delayed to February 4, 2012. The sequel does not focus on the previous characters but has the same genre.
