SM Fairview Mall Tour Recap from FollowArchuleta.ph

January 21, 2012 was a good day for fans of Nandito Ako and Archies alike. For the first time, David Archuleta and Jasmine Curtis Smith promoted the mini-serye, “Nandito Ako” with a mall show in SM City Fairview.

Thousands of fans were present at David Archuleta’s first mall tour since his arrival a week ago. Some of the “Archies” who flocked the SM City Fairview Atrium were given the chance to win a photo opportunity with David through a Sing-A-Like contest, Poster Making contest and other fun games. Afterwards, Jasmine Curtis Smith gave the fans an energetic, up-tempo performance of Nicki Minaj’s Super Bass.

Meanwhile, David offered his smash hit “Crush” to his adoring fans..

The fans were able to witness a rare live hot-seat interview with David and Jasmine by the host. Even more exciting was a Q&A portion with David for a handful of fans. The mall show was capped with the contest winners’ photo opportunity with David Archuleta .

David makes his choice

by Dinna Chan Vasquez

We don’t know who’s been taking singer David Archuleta around whenever he visits the Philippines (he’s been here four times) but his taste in Pinoy food goes beyond the usual adobo and lumpia as he has been feasting on tokwa’t baboy, sisig and papaitan. David has also ridden the ubiquitous jeepney.

When the Philippines was hit by Ondoy, David volunteered to hold a benefit concert for those affected by the floods. He was also one of the first foreign artists to express sympathy via the social networking site Twitter for those affected by tropical storm Sendong late last year.

Even before he first came here, David says he was already a fan of Regine Velasquez. Of course, he also admires his good friend Charice.

“It’s always fun for me when I come here,’’ says David to explain the “special treatment’’ that he gives the Philippines.

“The number one thing in any place is people. That’s always the thing that strikes me; it’s what I remember the most in anywhere I go, especially here in the Philippines. The people here have always been very gracious, very friendly, and just very supportive. Every single time that we’ve come here, it’s always been [a] great and amazing experience,’’ he adds.

American Idol David Archuleta to do a mini-series on TV5

TV5 played hosts to grand press conference for its newest Kapatid, American Idol Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta

Archuleta, or “Archie” to his millions of fans around the globe, will star opposite home-grown Kapatid talents Jasmine Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero in a primetime series to be launched in February. The two Kapatid princ esses personally went to NAIA Terminal 2 to welcome their leading man and meet him for the first time.

Unlike his three previous visits to Manila to perform in sold-out concerts, Archuleta will temporarily leave the concert stage for a while to try his skills as an actor.

On his official YouTube channel, Archuleta couldn’t hide his excitement to embark on his first acting debut.

“I’ll be arriving this week to start a new adventure in acting. I’m nervous, but also really excited to try this new experience,” he said in his blog. “I’ll be doing a mini-series for TV5 and will be filming in the Philippines for the next few weeks.”

Earlier in the day, the international star met with some of TV5′s top honchos in a contract signing to formalize his upcoming project with the Network. Present in the signing were TV5 President and CEO lawyer Ray C. Espinosa and Executive Vice President and COO Roberto V. Barreiro.

Archie will stay at EDSA Shangri-La throughout his shooting weeks in Manila. The five-star hotel will be Archie’s official home in the Philippines, where some scenes of his coming series will also be shot.

David’s mini-series, “Nandito Ako” will soon be aired on Guam on KapatidTV5, available on MCV.

Time for David Archuleta to get out of his ‘likable’ shell

By: Nestor U. Torre

The big show-biz news this month is TV5’s bid to add international singer David Archuleta to its roster of contract stars. The “American Idol” second-placer is turning actor by way of “Nandito Ako,” a mini-series in which he plays a young Fil-Am teenager who comes home and gets involved with two lovely babes, played by Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Eula Caballero.

This is Archuleta’s fourth working visit to the Philippines, so it’s decidedly a case of mutual liking between him and his Filipino fans. His performing career in the States has yet to really take off, so he has the time to further build up his now not insubstantial Philippine base. The money involved in the TV5 deal surely is nothing to sniff at, either.
