David Archuleta is now a Kapatid Star!

American Idol Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta is set to arrive in Manila on January 12, 2012 to shoot a primetime drama series on TV5.

David Archuleta will be working with Kapatid stars Jasmin Curtis and Eula Caballero in the said drama series.

TV5 is doing another nig move to boost it's viewership and net profit. The network put out alot of money to acquire huge stars like Willie Revillame, Maricel Soriano, Sharon Cuneta, Dolphy etc. to make a stiff competition against GMA-7 and ABS-CBN. But this time the've decided to get the help of an international singer.

But I doubt if David Archuleta would help boost the ratings of TV5. Yes he is an American Idol alum captured the heart of the Filipinos but that was 3 years ago, even in America he is just considered as a local celebrity nowadays. And even the popularity of American Idol where he came from is now declining. So I don't think that he is a threat to both the Kapuso and the Kapamilya Network. I think acquiring David Archuleta is a gamble for the Kapatid Network.

The Kapatid Network is indeed that desperate to make some boost this 2012. Mr. MVP is willing to throw a lot of money just to make it on top. Or maybe they did not spend a lot to acquire David Archuleta on TV5's roster because he is not a big thing anymore.

But I'm still a fan of David, I love his songs specially that "A Little too not Over You". I just don't like the idea of importing him to do a drama series specially on TV5.
