Seeing the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority team up with Sesame Workshop to teach children about road safety, I can't help but remember Pong Pagong and Kiko Matsing, the two Sesame Street-like muppets from the children's show Batibot (Wikipedia), which, surprise, surprise, was originally co-produced with the then-Children's Television Workshop under the name Sesame (article from the Muppet Wiki, which is more detailed than what I can hope to be).
I remember going to the old website of Philippine Children's Television Foundation, Inc., creators of Batibot, which stayed up until the early 2010s in its 1990s web-style glory. Even that site is lost media now, since I can't remember the URL.
I have never seen a full episode from the Sesame run, nor from the Batibot era, available online.
A YouTube search yields the following videos, all theme songs (though the Sesame video contains a few scenes). All other searches yield videos from the remake (from 2010-2013) and the Batibot app released in 2015. I'm betting that even the episodes or parts of episodes from the remake will be lost in a few years' time. (Who's to say full episodes of the remake are not lost now?)
