Sam Concepcion and Tippy Dos Santos, young thespians and mainstream entertainment stars, are relative newbies compared to their more experienced co-stars in the new movie musical I DO BIDOO BIDOO. However, Sam and Tippy's previous musical theater experience, extremely high level of professionalism, and unquestionable talent enable them to hold their own against the pressure from playing the lead roles in the film, which features the immortal songs of the APO Hiking Society, and now plays in cineplexes across the Philippines.

Among the most memorable musical films that have featured international music icons's discography, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE(2007), which showcases the popular songs of The Beatles, and MAMMA MIA!(2008), which features the hit songs of ABBA, were instant favorites. On the local front, the Philippines has I DO BIDOO BIDOO: HETO nAPO SILA, which headlines the immortal songs of the legendary trio of the APO Hiking Society, comprised of Jim Paredes, Boboy Garovillo, and Danny Javier. Produced by film outfits Studio 5 and Unitel, and directed by Chris Martinez, I DO BIDOO BIDOO opened last Wednesday, August 29.
