David Archuleta took a trip down memory lane, recalling the time he starred as Josh Bradley in the teleserye “Nandito Ako.”
In an Instagram post, the singer joined fans in celebrating Josh's birthday by looking back on his time in the Philippines.
“It’s hard to believe it’s been so many years since ‘Nandito Ako,’ but the love that has continued for this character and for me beyond the show each time I meet fans from the Philippines, and each time I’ve gone back to do shows there where fans have brought Josh Bradley signs and memorabilia—always brings back such nostalgia of filming with the cast and crew with whom I grew so close to during filming,” David wrote.
David expressed his gratitude to the Filipino fans for supporting his music and his journey.
He even teased something for fans.
“I’ve got a few surprises coming for the Philippines soon…” David said.
In 2025, David shared his cover of “Nandito Ako” in an Instagram Reel.
David previously showed his love for Filipino music and his fans by covering “Rainbow” by South Border and “Forevermore” by Side A.
In 2024, David was thrilled to be back in the Philippines and reunite with his Pinoy fans for his "Playback Presents: The Best of David Archuleta Live in Manila" concert at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.
While here, he was delighted to have Filipino mangoes and also got to try lambanog and Filipino desserts.
David is known for the songs “Crush,” “A Little Too Not Over You,” and “Something ‘Bout Love.”
