!Oka Tokat

!Oka Tokat was a Philippine paranormal 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. Its title is the reverse spelling of the phrase Takot ako!
