!Oka Tokat was a Philippine paranormal horror drama which originally aired on ABS-CBN from June 24, 1997 to May 7, 2002 every Tuesday night replacing Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata. It starred Ricky Davao, Diether Ocampo, Jericho Rosales, Angelika Dela Cruz, Rica Peralejo, Paolo Contis and Agot Isidro. And later, Shaina Magdayao, Alwyn Uytingco, Joy Chiong, Jiro Manio and Emman Abeleda on its reformat of the series. Its title is the reverse spelling of the phrase Takot ako! (I'm scared!); hence, the exclamation point at the beginning. It was the longest-running horror series on Philippine television.[3]
The show revolves around a media crew led by Rona del Fierro (played by 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.
In November 2001, !Oka Tokat was reformatted featuring five children (played by Magdayao, Uytingco, Chiong, Manio and Abeleda) as they visit to the various haunted places (e.g. Horror House).
It was re-aired on ABS-CBN's cable channel, Jeepney TV.
This series is currently streaming also on Jeepney TV YouTube Channel every 8:00 pm.
