!Oka Tokat is a Philippine television drama horror fantasy series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Directed by Don Cuaresma, Laurenti Dyogi, Michael de Mesa, Rez Cortez, Ricky Davao, Johnny Manahan, Jerry Lopez Sineneng, Wenn V. Deramas, Cathy Garcia-Molina and Richard I. Arellano, it stars Ricky Davao, Rica Peralejo, Diether Ocampo, Jericho Rosales, Angelika Dela Cruz, Paolo Contis, Agot Isidro, Joy Viado, Giselle Sanchez, Marc Solis, Lorena Garcia, Bojo Molina, Carmina Villarroel, Alessandra De Rossi, Jeffrey Quizon, Tin Arnaldo, Mel Martinez, Onemig Bondoc, Meryll Soriano, Nelson Evangelista, Alwyn Uytingco, Shaina Magdayao, Emman Abeleda, Joy Chiong and Jiro Manio. It aired on the network's evening line up from June 24, 1997 to May 7, 2002, replacing Abangan ang Susunod Na Kabanata and was replaced by OK Fine, 'To ang Gusto Nyo!.
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.
Plot
The show revolves around a media crew led by Rona del Fierro (played by Agot Isidro) who investigates paranormal cases with the help of 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).
