Sesame ( Philippines ) Sesame ! was the Filipino co - production of " Sesame Street " . It was broadcast in the Philippines , in the Tagalog language , for one season in 1983 . The local Muppets were Pong Pagong , a giant turtle , Koko Kwik - Kwak , a bird , and Kiko Matsing , a monkey . Each show required scripts for ten segments of varying duration – from fifteen seconds to three minutes – with at least three segments written for the two Muppets and six adult characters who lived on a Sesame - like street . The other seven segments were written for other formats , such as light - action film , limbo and animation . The ten scripts per show were each pre - assigned a specific “ goal ” by the research team so that in every show , the whole person of the child was addressed — the physical , the intellectual , the emotional , the social , and the child ’ s relationship to home , neighborhood , and environment . The show proved to be unpopular . Barely a year and a half after Sesame ! went on the air , lack of finances on the part of the Philippine government which was shelling out half the budget on a 50 / 50 arrangement with Children ' s Television Workshop , caused its closure . The Philippine Children ' s Television Foundation , Inc . , formed by the same Filipino production team that worked on " Sesame ! " , produced a more successful follow - up , " Batibot " , without the cooperation of the Children ' s Television Workshop . The program went on to win several awards , including the Prix Jeunesse in Germany . Batibot in Filipino means " small , but strong and robust " . As Sesame ! , the program used both English and Filipino as the media of communication , but after evolving into Batibot , the show became a completely Filipino language children ' s educational show . Kiko and Pong crossed over to the new show , but were eventually written off due to licensing issues with former partner CTW . During this time , the Philippine production team launched a PR campaign for Ten Million Signatures for Pong to be allowed to stay in Batibot .
