From Muppet Wiki

Sesame! was the Filipino co-production of Sesame Street. It was broadcast in the Philippines, in the Tagalog langauge, for one season in 1983.

The local Muppets were Pong Pagong, a giant turtle, and Kiko Matsing, a Grouch-like monkey.

However, the show proved to be unpopular. 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. Kiko and Pong crossed over to the new show, but were eventually written off due to licensing issues with former partner CTW.
