Barok is considered as one of the most popular komiks characters in the Philippines created by Filipino cartoonist Bert Sarile and Filipino comic book script writer Polly Rallanca in 1973. A stone-age Philippine comic book character, Barok was described by Sarile as a lead character and one of the equivalents in the Philppine comic book industry of the American cartoon characters in The Flintstones.[1] Barok was illustrated in komiks by Sarile as a “pre-historic caveman” who carried a “large club”.[2]

Comic book version [link]
Barok was featured weekly in the pages of Hiwaga Komiks. Conceived by Sarile and Rallanca as a character of ethnic background that mirrored the “Filipino foibles in a primitive-age setting”, Barok was the more contemporary substitute to Bondying, a postwar Filipino comic book character. Barok was the first character in the Philippines that was created within a stone-age setting.[1]
Film version [link]
Later on, Barok had been featured in three Philippine movies.[1] A 1997 version of the film starred Filipino actor and comedian Chiquito as Barok.[2]
Book version [link]
Barok was one of the few Filipino comic book series or comic strips that was compiled and published in book format. The 130-page, digest size, and black-and-white book version[2] of Barok was published in 2004 by Pacyno Publishing, Co, Inc. and was distributed by National Book Store.[1]

Óbarok

Óbarok and Nagyegyháza villages – until the recent past – never been individual administrative unit. After all, due to the geographical location and the common past of the population of the villages, they must be handled together.
Óbarok (Nagyegyháza) is a village in the region named Central Transdanubia, situated on the North of Fejér county, 50km from Székesfehérvár, in Hungary. The village is lying between the Gerecse and Vértes mountains, in the Váli Valley (Váli völgy).
Óbarok was mentioned first in 1365. In a strange way, Nagyegyháza (former Németegyháza) was mentioned first in 1703, although the historicans treated more important settlement. Their opinion is supported by a temple ruin from the Árpád Era (between 1000-1300 AD). In the Middle Ages, the two villages were mentioned as "puszta", which is an important unit of the agriculture.
The settlements were emptied more times while the Turkey and Tartar army attacked Hungary but due to their fortunate geographical location they were populated again and again. After the Turkey army has been ousted, the two settlements were developed on their own way. Óbarok was the property of the landed gentry, while Nagyegyháza was populated by the villeins of Batthyány manor.
