I am brainless...

Remember, mga pepsters, it doesn't matter naman if he's super sikat in the States or not. Again, this acting job is still a JOB. Something that could help his family financially. Saka iba naman sa States, iba dito. Siyempre sikat siya dito kasi hindi naman palagiang nakakasama ng mga Pinoy fans si Archuleta. At siyempre, he's just taking advantage of his popularity here, whatever the intensity is, to work. Wala namang masama at wala namang inaagrabiyadong tao ito. Mabait at magandang impluwensiya. Sana nga, maimpluwensiyahan ni David yung iba nating celebrity sa tabi tabi diyan.

David Archuleta is obviously a nice guy, but he is not sikat in the US just like some posts here indicate. He was dropped by his record label because of low record sales and his gigs in the US are in minor events that do not generate publicity. However, his plans to go on this missions trip for the Mormom church did make a little bit of news. Best of luck Archie.

hirap talaga sa showbiz no? or in his case, mahirap kumita ng pera. imagine, pumunta pa siya dito sa ating bayang magiliw para lang magtrabaho sa showbiz?

hmmm i wonder if local men artist will feel insecure about david staying in phil as a star of tv5, tv5 is trying so hard to boost their ratings and popularity, well goodluck to david and tv5 hope phil media won't make an issue or dig out some of his gay issues in u.s. previously even before he joined the american idol would phil media dare coz he's a foreigner filipinos are obsess and appreciative with foreign artists even with the no names one

Welcome once again David Archuleta... I have enjoyed every show you've done before in the Philippines. I love yah!!!!muaaaaah!I'm a fan of yours...

It's too bad hindi nagkick in ng husto ang career niya dito sa America. More power to you and sana kahit diyan sa Pinas ay magtagumpay ka.

Come to Utah, attend even just one Sunday meeting at a Mormon church, and you'll see how different our young men and women are from those ones you see around. Not to sound self-righteous but our youth are very well-mannered and modestly dressed. David's personality is very common among Mormon youth, especially those ones who grew up in Utah where majority of the population are Mormons.

Learn to differentiate nice and homo. It's very rare na kasi to find a guy na kasing clean-cut ni David kay gay na kagad ang assumption ng mga haters. Just FYI, very common sa Mormon men na ganito, soft-spoken, humble, walang bisyo, not even a tattoo or pierced ear dahil bawal sa simbahan namin. Especially that David is going on a mission, he has to be extra careful not to commit a mistake that may disqualify him and not be able to go on a mission at all. His mission can be canceled anytime and that's a very big disappointment. Like a couple years ago, a friend of mine was leaving for his mission in 3 weeks, but he slept with his non-Mormon gf, and so his mission was cancelled. It was very sad because he had been preparing for his mission his whole teenage life, and it was all gone just in a blink of an eye, for one mistake. Good luck David!

He seem very mabait at humble kahit gwapo magaling pang kumanta at sikat internationally, unlike mga kapamilya actors na mga feeling,denial king at feel nila God's gift to women sila. David seem a God fearing person he will soon go on a gospel mission trip soon. Welcome to the Philippines David! enjoy your stay here and will watch your teleserye

Hay nakuh kung natuloy sana lumipat si Sarah Geronimo sa tv 5 eh di sana sya dapat leading lady ni David Archuleta, bagay sana parehong magaling kumanta. nandito ako title ng soap di ba song ni Ogie Alcasid yan

haha kamukha siya ni pia magalona

wt?! may video ang pep sa presscon ni david sa article!astigg

Para po sa iba pa na nagko-comment naman against iambrainful... Again, this is not about network wars. Huwag niyo na pong gatungan yung ginawa niya. Pabayaan nyo na lang kasi baka lumaki pa. Ke sa kapamilya man napunta yang si Archuleta or sa kapuso or kapatid, ang importante, sa Pilipinas napunta. Siyempre, at walang ibang mas sasaya pa kundi ang mga fans nitong pobre. So i-congratulate na lang natin at ipakita natin sa bata na hindi siya nagkamali na gumawa ng isang serye dito sa Pilipinas.

Welcome to the Philippines David!!! We are excited to see you in our local shows.I will watch your Tv series and hope you enjoy your stay here.

sabi dati ni Gabby Lopez "Tinalo na po kami ng GMA" susunod nyang sasabihin "Tinalo narin po kami ng TV5". Pero asahan natin si brainless na sasabihin na number one parin ang ABS CBN bwahahahahahahahahaw ang mga halimaw talaga sa banga ibang klase mag isip yung may ari na nga ng ABS CBN ang nag sabi na talunan sila ayaw parin maniwala.

iambrainless oo di xia threat sa kapamilya di naman na kasi kasali sa competition ang kapamilya e kalevel nalang kasi ng channel 4

to David, you should agree to BRAINFUL, ABS-CBN is the best station in ASIA! BEST in DEBTS-as in Billions of debts! world class network and fans- where in fact the reality is S-O-C-I-A-L C-L-I-M-B-E-R-S people.

Welcome David! Good people like you always deserved to be received warmly.

Don't compare him like other celebs because he's different and beyond of what you could ever imagine! Alam yan ng lahat ng mga fans nya he's more than just a heartthrob or a celebrity kung alam nyo lang kung anong klase syang tao you'll be inspired and amazed! Hindi nya pinagpalit yung values and principles nya just to get fame unlike other celebs in hollywood. Hindi mo aakalaing lumaki sya sa America! He's really a good person and his faith is what I admired the most!

para kay iam brainful, masyado ka naman atang bitter! masyado kang fanatic ng estayon mong si Vice Ganda na lang ang bumubuhay! hahahaha

he is a good person inside out,was able to meet him here in AZ for a concert,this boy is very humble to what he has achieved. not too many artists has compassion as he does when it comes to his faith or his craft. he has pure talent more than any biebers and jolog disney teenstars combined. hope he will have fun doing tv shows in pinas and we will miss you david in the concert scene once you commit yourself to your mission.

bakit nasa pilipinas ito, wala na ba itong career sa amerika. mas sikat lang siguro sa pilipinas.

hagisan mo ng daga ito, sureball na titili, hihiyaw at mag-tatalon. pero walang tatalo dun sa mga taga imburnal ng mo. ignacia. aakyat pa ng silya, mesa at mag-papakarga pa. itanong nyo kina ED, PP, JM atbp. Ha Ha Ha.

verde na rin pala ang kafatid network. Ha Ha Ha.

bonggang bongga talaga sa kadatungan ang mama Peach P for short! mama P, ikaw na! pangalinan este pinangalanan na, sa kafatid network si pafa david. kitakits na lang tayo mga teh sa q.c. let's give david a big welcome - pun intended, if applicable. lol. teh, anong number brand ng lipstick nga yan, i reveal mo nah teh, i love it!

misshugobacungan!! tama ka papa P is waiting for him sabi ko na nga ba baklish si Paolo bediones, mag kakasama na sila sa tv5

I think this is wise move for tv5 to attract young viewers, hindi yung mag bayad ng malaking pera sa mga artistang matagal nang walak hatak ng viewers, kahit papaano ma curious din ang mga tao sa kanya,

iambrainful, or brainless whatever, madalas natutuwa ako sa mga comments mo. Pero alam mo, sana malaman mo kung hanggang saan kailangang magpaka-humorous. Not a threat to Kapamilya pala, eh ikaw ang unang unang nag-comment! Kung hindi threat, hindi pinapansin, simple as that. Obviously, ARCHULETA is a bigger threat than you may know. Laging may mga side comments kayo,a kala mo naman tastefully done. Please, nagpunta dito yung tao to try different channels and avenue to expand his profession. Ang nakakuha sa kanya, TV5. Kung yung peborit mong channel nakakuha diyan, same pa rin ang comment mo? Hayaan mo na lang i-enjoy ng mga fans ni Archuleta itong article na ito at dun ka magkalat sa channel mong inaamag, ok? Goodness!!! This is not even about network wars, pero talagang maisingit lang...

Hayyy nko David, kung alam mo lng ang kinabibilangan mong network, kaseng cheapness ng Kamuning yan. Magsisi ka balang araw bat anjan ka sa TV5 lol. Hinde mo ba alam na ABS-CBN ang the best station sa Asia?

welcome back david. please note, papa P is waiting for you. i heard na personal conviction ni papa P to let you enjoy your stay here in manila, as the tourism catchline says, have fun in the phils, have fun with papa P! see you at q c. muwahhh.

Wow the lipstick girl!

Not a threat to the Kapamilya Network. Next please...
