Set in a modern milieu, the program aims to promote traditional Filipino values through comic narrative stories and feature segments.[2][3]
Overview
The show was first aired from December 19, 2009 to January 8, 2011 on Q. The program was a talent show for elementary school students hosted by six child actors together with a strawberry-colored mascot, Potchi. The show included educational segments where children are taught spelling, vocabulary, grammar, science, people, and nature, among other things. The game portion, on the other hand, features a giant game board that challenges the children's mental and physical abilities. Other regular segments in the show are "Video-OK!," where children send in videos of themselves or their friends and relatives; "Aprub!," a feature on people, events, and places that are remarkable and worthy of getting the Potchi "aprub" mark, "Dear Kapotchi," a portion where viewers can send feedback and even school activity announcements; and "Sabi ni Potchi," (transl. Potchi says) a series of short stories featuring Potchi the mascot, injecting humor, commentary and trivia.[4]
It ran for four seasons until Columbia wanted to reformat the program into a weekly values-driven narrative show with informative feature segments. With the new direction, in 2011, Columbia and the network decided to transfer the program to
