American Idol star David Archuleta is scheduled to arrive in Manila on January 13 to do a primetime series for TV5. David is set to return to the country this week not to hold a concert, but to film a TV series for local network TV5. TV5 announced yesterday that the pop singer will be Jasmin Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero‘s leading man in an upcoming TV series.
The network has aggressively been signing Philippine superstars over the past two years, in 2011 drawing up contracts for the legendary Nora Aunor and “Megastar” Sharon Cuneta. TV5 also earlier signed deals with, among others, actresses Ruffa Gutierrez, Maricel Soriano, Lorna Tolentino, and Alice Dixon, and actors Aga Muhlach, Edu Manzano, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and legendary actor-comedian Dolphy for a variety of entertainment programs.
