Plot

The series tells the story of Budong, a poor boy who has a secret life as the superhero Super Inggo. Super Inggo, with his friends Ken and Teg, form the rookie superhero team, the Super Tropa. Other major characters are Budong's friends, Jomar and Maya, and Budong's mother, Pacita. Each episode, the protagonists find themselves in funny action-oriented adventures that provide life lessons by the end of the episode.

Production

Super Inggo at ang Super Tropa is the first collaborative project between ABS-CBN TV Production, represented by business unit head and Vice President for TV Production Enrico Santos, and the newly formed ABS-CBN Animation Department, led by business unit head Guia Jose, who has trained at the Hanna-Barbera Studios in the United States during the 1980s. She explained that the first Pinoy animation will run for two seasons, with each season tentatively containing 13 episodes that will approximately run for 22 minutes.

Enrico also elaborated that ABS-CBN has a vision of coming up with the country's very own renowned animation department, much like the Walt Disney company. He said that if Walt Disney has Mickey Mouse, ABS-CBN is investing on Super Inggo as its own trademark character.

4"Giyera Patani (Pea War)"December 13, 2009 (2009-12-13)

War has come to Santo Niño!

That is, a petty grade war between the girls and boys of Santo Niño Elementary School. The boys are rehearsing a play about dwarves, which they hope will be more awesome than the girls’ play about fairies. The competition is stiff and causes friction between the two groups, especially between Budong and Maya.

Unknown to all, there is a real war going on just beneath their feet, a Lilliputian conflict between real fairies and dwarves. Once partners in taking care of nature, these two magical races are now bitter rivals fighting over the dwindling resources in the school’s backyard.

When the leaders of the two groups witness Budong and Maya in their plays, they think these kids are mighty warriors. The fairies kidnap Maya and make her their commander while the dwarves convince Budong to become their general.

As the diminutive hordes clash in combat, Budong and Maya discover that they are truly each other’s enemies now. Can Budong, as Super Inggo, bring back peace now that the dogs of war have been unleashed?
5"Ang Alamat ni Suforonggi (The Legend of Suforonggi)"December 20, 2009 (2009-12-20)

After an awesome cameo appearance of the legendary Kung Fu Kids, Budong and his friends are invited to Mr. Katakawa’s Asian restaurant, wherein they are treated to a night of gastronomic pleasures. Katakawa, to the kids’ delight, isn’t just a talented cook but also a great storyteller. His best stories are about his ancestor, a mythical hero named Suforonggi who lived hundreds of years ago in an ancient land that sounds suspiciously like feudal Japan. Suforonggi’s greatest exploit, according to Katakawa, was his battle with twin dragons.

The night turns into a rollercoaster ride into the past when Budong accidentally awakens the magic of Suforonggi’s ancient sword. Pacita, Maya, Jomar, and Katakawa are sucked into a time portal generated by the sword and appear in Suforonggi’s time. Following them, Budong leaps into the time portal.

Budong learns that the warriors of that ancient land, the Chumorai, have captured our hero’s mother and friends, planning to sacrifice them to the twin dragons plaguing the region.

With Suforonggi’s magical sword and the rusty armor of a fallen warrior, Budong as Super Inggo must face the Chumorai horde. Yet defeating them is merely the beginning of his quest to save his mother and friends. Super Inggo must still face the twin dragons, creatures so terrible that only the mythical hero Suforonggi can defeat them.

Will Suforonggi appear in time to help Super Inggo? Or will the young superhero face the wrath of the twin dragons with nothing but a sword and a rusty armor?
6"Roboman Part 1"December 27, 2009 (2009-12-27)

It’s the fiesta of Sto. Niño town and everyone is at the plaza to celebrate. With Vhong Navarro onstage, though, this isn’t just any old fiesta—it’s a shindig!

Unknown to the townsfolk, an old villain is emerging from the volcano. It’s the Prince of Darkness! After his last battle with Super Inggo, the scalawag has lost most of his power and he now wears the form of a boy, Jack. He swears to get his revenge upon Super Inggo.

Back at the fiesta, a great, god-awful stench puts a halt on the revelry. The corrupt Mayor Vicente is illegally transporting toxic waste in a secret dumpsite deep within the forest.

While everyone is having a blast at the plaza, Mang Raymund the electrician is busy repairing broken appliances in the hopes that he can save enough money for an expensive operation that would restore his daughter Grace’s sight.

That night, Jack sets into motion a series of events that would turn Mang Raymund into a monster. Through Jack’s actions, Mang Raymund is bathed with toxic waste from one of the canisters being transported to Mayor Vicente’s dumpsite. What emerges is the mechanical menace, Roboman.

Roboman’s power to control machines and turn his body into weapons comes with a steep price, though: his loss of humanity breaks his mind. Mang Raymund’s last sane thought—his desire to make enough money for Grace’s operation—compels Roboman to raid Mayor Vicente’s house.

When Roboman discovers that Grace has befriended Super Inggo, all hell breaks loose. Will Super Inggo be able to stop the once mild-mannered Mang Raymund and give him back his humanity?
7"Roboman Part 2"January 3, 2010 (2010-01-03)

Things aren’t so awesome for Super Inggo. He’s just had his ass handed to him by his neighbor, Raymund, who has been turned into a mechanical menace by the machinations of the boy Jack, the Prince of Darkness returned. It’s all part of Jack’s plan to punish our hero for the villain’s past defeat at the hands of Super Inggo.

Raymund, now calling himself Roboman, has lost his humanity and his sanity while gaining the power to control machines and turn his robotic body into weapons. All that’s left of the once-gentle Raymund is his overpowering desire to find enough money to pay for his daughter Grace’s eye operation.

Roboman and Super Inggo’s battle reaches the plaza, where the entire town of Sto. Niño is celebrating its fiesta. Roboman reveals that he has another ace in the hole: Mayor Vicente’s wife, who is about to die horribly under a vat of flesh-eating toxic waste in Vicente’s illegal dumpsite.

Can Super Inggo save the Mayor’s wife, stop Roboman’s rampage, and give Grace back her father?
8"Ani-Men"January 10, 2010 (2010-01-10)

Poachers are marauding the forest near Budong’s home and it’s a job for Super Inggo to stop them. Joining him is the Mighty Ken, who has a special grudge against criminals like this since he’s part animal himself. What they didn’t expect was the appearance of a creature that can turn itself into any animal at will. This creature is Logan.

Logan is one of the Ani-men, a tribe of metamorphic humans who live in the forest. He reveals that Ken’s power to transform into a cat comes from his ancestors, who are of Logan’s tribe. Ken learns from Logan that in the future, the boy will learn to turn himself into any animal just like his brethren.

Logan tells Budong his purpose in the town of Sto. Niño: to find his sister Megan, who has been kidnapped by the poachers. Budong, Ken, and Teg agree to help Logan. They head back to the forest.

Meanwhile, in the lair of the poachers deep within the forest, an evil scientific experiment is being conducted. The half-mad Dr. Zoolittle, the leader of the poachers, is turning the captured animals into abominations using his invention, a mutagenic serum.

It all comes down to a battle between our heroes and Dr. Zoolittle’s mutated animals. In the end, the mystery of who Dr. Zoolittle really is will be revealed.
