MANILA, Philippines?American Idol alumnus David Archuleta is back in town.
The baby-faced crooner arrived in Manila Tuesday afternoon to promote his sophomore album, "The Other Side of Down."
Archuleta, runner-up in the seventh season of the popular star search in the US, deplaned at 3 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2. He flew aboard Philippine Airlines flight 502 from Singapore, which was delayed by almost an hour.
Smiling, he waved to a group of about 30 fans, clad in jeans and a white shirt with a smiley design. He answered questions from a group of reporters, TV news crews and photographers, who were waiting for his arrival.
It was Archuleta's second time in Manila, after headlining a concert last year with Season 7 champ David Cook.
