Si Pedro Penduko at ang Engkantropa

Si Pedro Penduko at ang Engkantropa (International title: Pedro and Friends) is a 2021 Philippine animated fantasy action television series created and produced by ABS-CBN. A reboot of the 2007 series Pedro Penduko at ang Mga Engkantao, it stars YouTuber DJ Kitsune as the voice of Pedro Penduko.

Plot
High school is finally over for Pedro, and with it, he is about to leave his rural hometown in Batangas for college. Pedro and Lola Maria found their way to his Lolo Pedro's boarding house at the University Belt, where Pedro is hoping to lead a normal life as a normal student. Except that, a normal life is not really an option for Pedro.

Lolo Pablo is not your average grandfather – he gets visions of spirits. And his latest vision is a frightening one – the demon Kalagua has escaped from her prison and is determined to find the chosen Engkantao - a half-human, half engkanto hybrid - whose power can bring her to Floreshka. Once in Floreshka, he intends to destroy the kingdom and all mythical creatures protecting the human race - and begin the last apocalypse.

In Pedro's arrival, he experienced culture shock, being amazed by the sights of Manila. Then, Lola Maria was captured by an unknown man possessed by an evil spirit. This incident happened in Cubao, Quezon City. In the other hand, a different accident happened in Makati City. It was at a hotel, where Kalagua put an evil spirit on a photographer and one of the Engkantaos, Josef, helped stop the evil spirit.

Another incident took place in Tondo when an unknown creature came out of a dumpsite and attacked onlookers. Marie, an Engkantao, was there to help. In Caloocan, Dianne, also an Engkantao, fought statues from the Bonifacio Monument given sentience by Kalagua. Also another incident happened in Luneta Grandstand, Manila, when a group of criminals captured people. The fourth Engkantao, Edward, helped them.

Quezon City Memorial Circle is where the last incident happened. Moy, the last Engkantao, used his powers to kill snakes that were attacking people. These incidents happened in the same time, but different places. Those places, traced together, forms a Star of David shape, the symbol of the chosen Engkantaos.

After the attacks, Kalagua, tries to find the chosen Engkantao, through the body of Dr. Eva. Will banding together help the young heroes - or will it make it easier for Kalagua to find them?

Cast

 * Jake Franz Abendaño as Pedro Penduko - An Engkantao of Floreshka breed, and has the ability to emit colorful energy balls and ESP. This brave yet fun-loving hero wants a normal life, and looks forward to it in college. Little does he know that bigger surprises await for him this time.
 * Jorge Ferrer as Josef - A half-Dalaketnon. Dalaketnons are known to be rather beautiful elitists, and Josef is of no exception. A bit of a coño, he is blessed with telekinesis as well as corporeal duplication—meaning he could generate tangible, living copies of himself indefinitely, and his hair and eyes turn white whenever his power manifests. His nose bleeds as a negative effect of his power.
 * Nadine Lustre as Marie - A shy probinsiyana who is half-Sigbin and half human. The Sigbin have the ability to become invisible, so they all look different from each other. Some look like dogs, cats and even goats! Not only Marie is gifted with the power of invisibility, she has the ability to shrink, and the ability to grow ears and a tail whenever she is angry. However, she can get memory lapses if she uses too much of her power. Furthermore, her invisibility does not hide sounds, making it possible to track her while invisible using this way.
 * Kitty Buenafe as Dianne - A half-Wakwak who knows how to kick butt. She has wings so she can fly, as well as crawl on walls coupled with unbelievable agility! As a drawback of using too much power, she loses sight, while her power manifests by making her grow bat-like wings and steel claws. As Wakwaks have a bad reputation, Dianne strives to prove to people that they can be nice as well, although she feels guilty that her ancestors had a bad history with humans.
 * JC Baguinda as Edward - A half-kataw and half human who has the ability to manipulate water. Kataws are considered as mermen, and so Edward can grow fins, scales and web-like hands whenever his power manifests. Because he has the power to manipulate water, Edward dehydrates as a drawback of using a lot of his power. He came from a dark past, as his brother got into an accident because of his powers. A such, he blames himself for his brother's death and vows never to use his powers again.
 * TJ Abendaño as Moy - A half-Santelmo and half human. Santelmos are able to wield fire, and Moy has the ability to generate fire and large fireballs. Feeling different from other kids, he bonds with grown-ups instead, and never fails to lose his sunny disposition. His power also has a drawback, as he gets a high fever because of it. Unlike the other members of his group, Moy is the only person who still doesn't know that he is half-Santelmo. This is because Moy's mother already abandoned him when he was still a baby.
 * Kathryn Bernardo as Kalagua - The main villain of the story. Dubbed as the "ultimate evil", she was a Babaylan who was burned to death by ancient tribesmen for her wickedness. She now seeks revenge by combining her spirit with a chosen Engkantao.

Indonesian bad ending controversy
Netizens in Indonesia discovered an alternative ending of the series where Kalagua, the show's villain, defeats the main heroes and enslaves them before taking over the Philippines and the mortal world for herself. Jusuf Kalla, former President of Indonesia, was credited with making the episode, which Kalla confirmed in a tweet three days after the airing of the missing episode. Following this, Kalla was met with backlash from Filipino fans, accusing him of "destroying the Filipino belief that good always triumphs in the end".

Other changes included the total destruction of Manila caused by the tidal wave and earthquake both summoned by Kalagua, background characters being bitten by and transformed into zombies, and additional scenes after Pedro's defeat showing Manila landmarks like Fort Santiago, the Guadalupe Bridge section of EDSA and ABS-CBN studios all being destroyed by different structures rising up from within their foundations.
