[edit] Plot
High School is finally over for Pedro (Matt Evans), and with it, he's about to leave Tulay Buhangin for college. Pedro and Lola Maria (Gloria Romero) find 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, as we all know, a normal life is not really an option for Pedro. In the first place, Lolo Pablo (Cris Daluz) isn't your average lolo - 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 engkantos protecting the human race - and begin the last apocalypse.
[edit] Pedro in the City
In Pedro's arrival, he experienced culture shock. He was amazed by the things in the city. Then, Lola Maria was captured by an unknown man with an evil spirit within him, Pedro then recused her using his new powers. This incident happened in Cubao, Quezon City. In the other hand, a different accident happened in Makati City. It was in 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, Manila, where an evil monster came out of the garbage dump, and attacked the people. Marie, an Engkantao, was there to help. In Monumento, Caloocan City, Dianne, also an Engkantao, fought the statues, that were brought alive by Kalagua. Also another incident happened in Luneta Grandstand, Manila, when a group of criminals captured people. The fifth Engkantao, Edward, helped them. Quezon City Memorial Circle, is where the last incident happened. Moy, the last Engkantao, used his powers to kill the snakes, that were attacking the 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 od Dr. Eva. Will banding together help the young heroes - or will it make it easier for Kalagua to find them?
[edit] Engkantao
Engkantao came from the tagalog word "Engkanto" which means supernatural beings and "Tao" which means human. Engkantaos were people who are half Engkanto and half human. Kalagua, the villain of the story, is taking her revenge and the only way to do this is to combine her spirit with engkantaos. And only the six chosen engkantaos can defeat her. The six chosen engkantaos would know if they were the chosen one, if they have a star birthmark on their body.

[edit] Main Cast and Characters
- Matt Evans as Pedro Penduko - an Engkantao of Floreshkan 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!
- Oyo Boy Sotto as Josef - the half-Dalaketnon Josef. Dalaketnons are known to be rather beautiful elitists, and Josef is of no exception.

However, she can get memory lapses if she uses too much of her power.
- Denise Laurel 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.
