!Oka Tokat is a Philippine supernatural horror drama television series 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 Agot Isidro alongside Ricky Davao, Carmina Villaroel, Alessandra De Rossi, Rica Peralejo, Diether Ocampo, Jericho Rosales, Angelika Dela Cruz, Marc Solis, Bojo Molina, Paolo Contis and later, Emman Abeleda, Shaina Magdayao, Alwyn Uytingco, Joy Chiong, and Jiro Manio on its reformat of the series. 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 horror adventure series.

It was re-aired on ABS-CBN's cable channel, Jeepney TV. This series was also streaming on Jeepney TV's own YouTube Channel every 8:00 pm.

Plot[edit]

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.

Sometime later in the reformat, it now revolves around a group of five children led by Rona's cousin Kyle (played by Abeleda) who has inherited psychic powers from his mother. He is also joined by his new neighbors and friends including Twinkle (played by Magdayao), Bobong (played by Uytingco), Britney (played by Chiong) and Tofu (played by Manio).
