The animated series, which highlights Filipino child characters engaging in games like Tiyakad, Sungka, Sipa, Luksong Tinik, and Patintero, is now available for viewing.
The series, which promotes Filipino culture, is the result of a partnership with leading animation studios in the Philippines, including Top Draw Animation, Top Peg Animation, PlayLab Animation Studio, Toei Animation Philippines, and Toon City.
