"I just got invited there because Pyramid is no.7 on Billboard dance remix and i really had to go there to promote it. But bottomline, David just showed his support for me. and i wanna thank him," says Filipino singer Charice (right) on her Twitter account about inviting American Idol Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta (left) to a gay bar in New York City last weekend.

Muling nabuhay ang pagdududa tungkol sa sexual preference ng American singer na si David Archuleta. Nakita kasi siya noong Sabado, April 17, sa Club 57, isang trendy gay bar sa New York City.

Mabilis na nagpaliwanag si David sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Twitter account. Ayon sa American Idol Season 7 runner-up, nagpunta siya sa Club 57 dahil sa imbitasyon ng kanyang kaibigan, ang young Filipina singer na si Charice.

"Last night in New York I got invited to go and see my friend Charice perform. Mental note to self: always ask where before you go! Wasn't my kind of place lol, and I had no clue! I guess you live and learn. The upside was that Charice was awesome, and she has an incredible voice.

"Hope that clears things up!

"Been seeing some of the tweets.. sheesh!"

Ang Twitter din ang ginamit ni Charice sa apology nito kay David. Hiyang-hiya si Charice kay David dahil nasangkot ito sa isang kontrobersya. Ipinaliwanag ni Charice na nagpunta si David sa Club 57 bilang suporta sa kanya dahil magkaibigan sila.

Ayon kay Charice, "Before i go to my interviews, i just want to clear up some things, about the Saturday night. David went to see me there perform as a friend. I am really thankful to have a great friend like David...thank you for the support.

"One more thing, i just got invited there because Pyramid is no.7 on Billboard dance remix and i really had to go there to promote it. But bottomline, David just showed his support for me. and i wanna thank him."

Tinanggap agad ni David ang apology ni Charice. Pinasalamatan niya ang kapwa singer at nag-apologize din siya.

"Aw haha thanks Charice! Sorry for causing any problems, I know you didn't mean to cause any confusion :)

"I have nothing against anyone, I'm sorry if that's how it came across. I'm just not into the partying scene lol. I have friends who are gay, and they're great people. Whether they're gay or not doesn't change how I think of them. 

"Charice is great and she didn't mean to do cause any harm haha. She apologized a lot after. She's way nice lol," sabi ng 19-year-old singer sa kanyang Twitter account.

UNDERAGE. Hindi lamang ang pagpunta ni David sa gay bar ang pinuna ng U.S. press. May mga bumabatikos din sa mga nagpapatakbo sa career ni Charice dahil pinayagan ito na mag-perform sa isang gay bar, kahit 17 years old pa lamang siya.

Mahigpit na ipinagbabawal sa U.S. ang pagpapapasok ng mga menor de edad sa mga bar.

Naka-post na sa YouTube ang clip ng performance ni Charice sa Club 57. Kinanta niya ang remix version ng "Pyramid" at ang "I Will Survive." Habang kumakanta si Charice, makikita sa background ang mga shirtless gay customers ng bar at dalawang lalake na magkayakap.

    I also forgot to point out that in David's twitter. Hindi niya sinabi - Charice invited me. Sabi niya - I got invited. Big difference! Si David may meeting doon sa mga producers and songwriters for his new project. Itong mga producers na 'to ay isa din sa mga producers ni Charice sa album niya. Yung isa din sa banda ni Charice, kilala ni David at sa band din niya before. Si David, nakatrabaho pa ni Charice noon at naging kaibigan sila. So only natural na nakasama at nainvite din si David sa grupo na iyon...Please back down on your wrong info from gossip.

    Ay naku, mga tao talaga sa Pilipinas relying on chismis. Please keep the facts straight next time.
    First of all, hindi talaga kailangan mag apologize si Charice. Kasi si David mas adult sa kanya. Kung gustong pupunta dun that is his decision. Si Charice is 17 years old and in no way could have directly invited David to that club. Hindi siya pwede mag invite let alone go inside that club without adults and special permission. She apologized instead because of the uncomfortableness this situation na hindi naman sana caused on David. Because of the mga chismis at kung ano ano pa.
    At sa iyong nag sabi na gay bar lang pala yung pinupuntahan ni Charice para magpromote. Nagpakita lang ba kayo sa pagka-ignorante niyo? Ang Club 57 ay isa sa mga pinaka sosyal, sikat at mahal na club sa NY gay or not. Mga celebrities din pupunta dun at nagperform dun. Hindi din makapasok kung sino sino lang gay or not. Yung remix ni Charice ay no.7 ngayon sa dance billboard charts kaya na invite siya magperform doon. Gin

    How old is Charice anyway? Isn't she too young to be packaged as a gay icon? LOL!

    why should this have to be a network war issue again? as filipinos, shouldnt we be proud that one of our own is making it big in the US? at least she's making a name for herself, inspite of the fact that she's asian. if she does make it big, she'll be the first international asian star to crack into one of the most hardest markets to get into, the US market.

    charice was only there to promote her single which is now number seven in the dance charts. im juz wondering, if charice was there as a minor, why have they not closed the club down or investigated it? i mean, david is older than charice but he's also under age to be in a bar. how was he able to get in if it was for 21 and above only. i think some of archie's fans are deflecting the gay issue from archie by blaming it on charice and her management.

    why does charice have to apologise to david archuleta? no offense to david archuleta fans, im sure he's a nice guy, but seriously, charice never forced him to go there in the first place. she invited him but it was his decision to go there to support her. the thing is, that club is apparently pretty famous, and i find it rather strange that he would have no idea what kind of bar it was. i mean, he's in the music industry with minders, and no one happened to tell him what kind of place it was? the reason why david is in hot water right now has got nothing to do with charice whatsoever. he made a big deal about why he went there, he overreacted to a situation which shouldnt have been a big deal.
