Overview

Synopsis

Wako Wako is a story of seven-year-old boy Muymuy (Yogo Singh), who yearns to make his father, a respected policeman, proud. His cowardly nature, however, prevents him from doing so. He will discover a magical creature and he'll call it Wako. Wako-Wako fulfills all his wishes, but soon Muymuy discovers that every granted wish comes with a price.

A mysterious lady named Dyosa Marishka (Ai-Ai de las Alas) finds Muymuy and tells him that Wako is an Arukan and that she is a goddess of wishes in need of help from the creature. The goddess needs to find seven people who will provide pure selfless wishes to save her kingdom and bring her back to power. In return, Wako helps Muymuy with his family's problems in this endearing tale of friendship and relations.
