David Archuleta

"American Idol" runner-up David Archuleta is now a Kapatid!

TV5 announced earlier today that the pop singer will be Jasmin Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero's leading man in an upcoming TV series.

"American Idol star David Archuleta is scheduled to arrive in Manila on Jan. 13 to do a primetime series for TV5 with homegrown Kapatid stars Jasmin Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero." the announcement reads.

Just last month, David Archuleta announced that he will be taking a break from his singing career to serve a two-year proselytizing mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But it appears that he will be taking a detour or perhaps he will be doing his missionary work here in the Philippines while shooting his series.

David Archuleta staged his solo concert in the country in July, 2011. He was with David Cook during his first concert in Manila back in 2009.

Kapuso teen star Julie Anne San Jose did the front act during David Archuleta's concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Monday.

Julie performed Paramore’s “Decode”, Nicki Minaj’s “Superbase” and Rihanna’s “California King Bed” during the concert. David said to have personally thanked the singer after the concert (as evidenced by the photo above).

It must be a great news for "Julielmo" (the monicker of Julie Anne and Elmo) fans out there since both Julie Ann and Elmo Magalona had been chosen to do the front act for foreign acts in the country - Elmo did Miley Cyrus's last month.

Meanwhile, here are videos of Julie Anne San Jose's performances at David Archuleta's concert:
