Alikabuk

"Alikabuk" (English: Dust) is an educational show that makes up 1/4 of the Eskwela ng Bayan initiative. This show teaches kids ages 6-12 Filipino balarila (vocabulary), as well as some basic story understanding.

Synopsis
In a house called Alikabuk, a young boy, named Jomel, lives with his Lola Priming while his parents live in Manila. He often has a problem relating to his understanding of Filipino vocabulary, which his lola tries to resolve.

Suddenly, a character(s) (from am already existing book) lands on his house. They normally feel unhappy and resentful (uncharacteristic of their personalities) reminiscent of Jomel's problem. After he recalls what his lola said, the characters leave his house, although some act unruly in his house (like how one stone his dictionary).[1]

One segment, called 'Dodong Diday', is not related to the lesson, but is instead related to a lesson Jomel learnt from Aling Priming.

Characters
Christian Alvear as Jomel - a naughty, irresponsible, and lazy boy who acts like a student to his lola. He, however, still shows his obedient side to the fictional characters, although he reverts back to his normal self after his lola returns. Priscilla Rose Nalundasan as Aling Priming - a caring but strict lola who does not approve of Jomel's attitude towards her. She has a habit of jumping to conclusions, like in the episode 'Ang Bahag ni Aliguyon'.[3] She does not percieve the characters, mainly because of her absence during the second segment. Marie Kristlane C. Dacanay as Linda - a girl who Jomel likes. When Aling Priming is not around, she lectures him. Her appearance makes him more susceptible to lies. Apollo Abraham and Mailes Kanapi as Dodong and Diday - a brother-sister duo who bicker because of an act Jomel committed earlier (like getting something without one's permission) This results in pain and pleasure for both sides.

Trivia

 * Like other ENB shows, ALikabuk takes place entirely in Alikabuk, and other places are usually mentioned just in that episode, like Jomel's school. 'Kuro-kuro ko!' is an exception.[2]
 * This is the only ENB show to have a recurring segment.
 * Lola Priming only witnesses a character in one episode, 'Jomel at Baut', but did not witness his disappearance.
