It was previously announced that David Archuleta would be starring in a Filipino soap opera with actresses Jasmine Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero. David arrived in Manila yesterday to a large group of fans greeting him at the airport, then was off to a press conference to sign his contract with TV5.

During the press conference, it was announced that the mini series will be called Nandito Ako, a popular song that David will be singing in Tagalog. David also revealed that he'll be playing Josh, who was separated from his mother at 5 years old due to a hotel fire. During the fire, he rescued a young girl (played by Jasmine or Eula).

David also discussed his plans to go on a two-year LDS mission soon, saying that this will be one of the last projects he does before heading off. David spilled that once he returns from the Philippines, he'll be recording as much music as he can to release while he's away. "Two years goes by fast.. I mean, it's been four years since American Idol." says David. Though he knows he'll have to make sacrifices, he'll definitely be continuing music when he returns. "Music is what I love to do, it's what I plan to do for the rest of my life."

David will begin the two week filming process tomorrow, and the five-week long show will be airing on TV5 in late February.
