With them are friends Raymond Gutierrez, Carla Humphries, Erwan Heussaff, Borgy Manotoc, Adrien Semblat, Nico Bolzio, Eric Dee, and a special appearance by Congressman Manny Pacquiao. The video is said to be inspired by Justion Bieber's video with friends, who were also lip-synching the same song. But this video here is way much better and way mooore fun, don't believe me? Watch if for yourself. Warning, the song may stick in your head for maybe 2-3days. Okay, make that a week! :))
