BATIBOT {TAGALOG WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES} (TV)

Summary

One in this fast paced Filipino children's television series featuring puppets and a cast of adults and children. The title, meaning "small, but strong and robust" in Tagalog, is the shaping force behind the program. In this episode, adult cast member Ching, some children, and the monkey puppet Kiko all decide on a poem about the concepts" happy" and "sad" to recite at the close of the show. The group has to work together to write the poem and assemble costumes. In other segments, an animated carriage wheel looks for its home; a young girl assists her mother, who is a doctor; the adults and children sing a song as they look for Kiko, who hides; a circle looks for its mate among a face, a tree, and a triangle; a video demonstrates the multiple uses of bamboo; painted fingers and hands perform in "Teatro Bulilit"; and Bodjie tells turtle puppet Pong a story, which is illustrated with claymation figures.

(This program is in Tagalog with English subtitles.)
