Sam Concepcion, who wowed fans with his stunning physique and set social media abuzz after a viral photo from his performance in a musical last year, takes center stage this Sunday (January 12) on “Tao Po.”
In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN journalist Izzy Lee, Sam opens up about the journey behind his incredible fitness transformation, the discipline that helped him achieve his toned physique, and his exciting plans for a return to showbiz.
Sam burst onto the entertainment scene at just 12 years old when he won ABS-CBN’s reality competition “Little Big Star” in 2006. Over the years, he has proven himself as a versatile performer, excelling in singing, dancing, and acting. His talent has shone in acclaimed projects such as Cinco, Pop Class, I Do Bidoo Bidoo: Heto nApo Sila!, and The Killer Bride.
The multi-talented star also made waves internationally, serving as the front act for Taylor Swift’s concert at the Big Dome in 2011. Now, Sam is ready to take the spotlight once again with fresh plans for his acting and music career in 2025.
This week’s “Tao Po” also features two other inspiring stories. Bernadette Sembrano visits the unique violet-themed home of Marilyn de Guia, fondly known as “Nanay Violet,” who has filled her life and surroundings with her favorite color since discovering her love for it in 2009.
Meanwhile, Kabayan Noli de Castro highlights the work of Emmanuel Dane Ventura, a self-taught painter whose hyperrealistic artworks resemble real-life photographs. Despite challenges, Ventura’s passion for art has remained unwavering, with his talent emerging at a young age.
