Kokak (Chick to frog TF)

[oezdemircan aydinoglu]

Kokak is a Filipino fantasy movie released in 1989 about a girl living in the woods who changes into a frog on certain occasions (I don't speak much Tagalog so don't know the plot in detail, just here for the TF).

GMA released a series in 2011 starring the lovely Sarah Lahbati, based on the original film.

The 1989 movie can be found here:

It appeared on YouTube a couple times before and kept being taken down, so watch/download it while you can, you don't know what will happen a couple months down. TF is "poof" type and is very retro, featuring some drawn-on thunderbolts in one scene, but she does revert without her clothes on, so it's something I suppose lol.

The series, though more recent and better quality, is much harder to find. Here are some short clips of interest which feature TF (brief, morph type):

I've hit a lot of dead ends otherwise for the series, so if anyone is able to find anything else on this, please feel free to share!

I tried some digging on the 2011 series, remembering how in terms of TF-centric Filipino series, some random Annasandra episodes were scattered in low-quality across the Internet before GMA just flat-out uploaded that complete series legally on YouTube themselves (if only they did the same for this one).
Looks like a decade ago, people put up the entire series on YouTube but a vast chunk was taken down. However, some episodes survived the purge (all split up in five parts for some reason and with anonymous upload titles) and I skimmed through them for morphs:

November 17, 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfwNFwW1ItY&t=178s (Sarah Lahbati's debut scene)
December 5, 2011 recap segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9xfKX-T3rU&t=53s (the episode with the scene appears to have been deleted)
December 6, 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JchO4WCx8M&t=114s
January 3, 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS4zXR7OMr0&t=337s (skin changes, but the morph proper happens off-screen by means of a cut to commercials)
February 16, 2012 recap segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs9SOTUqb0g&t=58s (the episode with the scene appears to have been deleted)

Thanks a lot, very much appreciated! I did see one of the TFs in the recap section in full (it was titled "knemaysnk2"), but unfortunately it's no longer available, like a lot of the other videos. I notice the clips for "Kokak" always start with a "K" followed by random letters, which doesn't make our digging easier. The hunt continues.

Predictably, the Youtube upload of the 1989 film was taken down, but I ended up stumbling upon another upload of it from web searching, put up on March 2025 on... Facebook, of all places:
https://www.facebook.com/61564434071...2517382668233/
(and if you have headphones, only your right ear will enjoy the upload)

The anthology series Wansapanatym (which has been mentioned a scant few times on this forum in the past decade) also did its own remake of the film in 2010, starring Cristine Reyes.
The episode in question has been officially uploaded on Youtube in 2024:
https://youtu.be/ZSzK_fcAUyc
The on-screen TF scenes there are at:
-6:06 (shifting eyes)
-7:21 (morph)
-24:52 (shifting eyes)
-30:20 (shrinking into clothes)
-33:33 (morph)
-37:20 (hallucinatory face morph)
-41:30 (subtle skin change then poof)
-and a poof revert at 43:33 (every other revert is off-screen)

Lastly, I chanced upon two more episodes of the 2011 series with TFs through Youtube search:
-December 1, 2011: https://youtu.be/PXSPV9cl0Eg?t=2m30s (framed to show only her clothes falling from shrinking)
-December 2, 2011: https://youtu.be/mwddGMrxMyI?t=9m26s (revert)
Alas, the URL shown in the watermark has been a dead site since 2013, and what little the Internet Archive saved of it didn't have anything about Kokak. For the time being, the 2011 series remains partially lost media.
