00:04 David Licauco's comeback to the country is more inspiring
00:08 after his wonderstruck moment in Taylor Swift's Aerostore.
00:13 What are fans waiting for?
00:15 Aubrey Carampel will tell us.

00:19 David Licauco's Aerostore hangover
00:24 came from Sydney, Australia
00:27 to watch the concert of pop superstar Taylor Swift.
00:30 David is a certified Swift.
00:33 He first met Taytay at her Red Tour concert in Manila 10 years ago.
00:37 Actually, I have a lot of friends who messaged me saying,
00:42 "Wow, you're a fan?"
00:43 "Hey, are you really a fan?"
00:46 "Why are you a fan of Taylor Swift?"
00:48 Because for them, Taylor Swift's songs are really feminine.
00:53 But I like those songs.
00:57 The "Never Ever Ever" and stuff like that.
01:01 But the highlight of his Sydney trip wasn't just the concert.
01:05 He also got to see his brother and new niece.
01:09 I visited him for a day.
01:10 My first niece was already out.
01:15 It was fun to hold the baby.
01:17 Now that he's back in the Philippines,
01:19 David is more inspired in his work.
01:22 It's been raining in Manila
01:24 In his singer era, we visited him for his rehearsals
01:28 for the Sparkle Goes to Canada concert tour.
01:31 David will be with the other half of BARDA, Barbie Forteza,
01:35 and the real-life Sparkle couples Julian San Jose and Raver Cruz,
01:40 Ruru Madrid and Bianca Umali.
01:43 They need to prepare their performances well,
01:47 especially when the show is directed by Sparkle GMA Artist Center consultant,
01:52 Mr. Johnny Manahan.
01:53 It wasn't an easy task because I'm not a singer.
01:59 But I'm trying my best to show it to overseas Filipino workers abroad.
02:09 David is also back to taping the upcoming family drama, "Pulang Araw,"
02:13 where he's playing a Japanese soldier, Hiroshi.
02:18 It's challenging to learn Japanese because of the different tonality.
02:25 But I think it's a good challenge for me.
02:29 I would say this is the hardest role that I've ever played.
02:36 So I'm just super excited because it's very dramatic.
02:38 David is also busy with taping.
02:40 One of the things that he's busy with is playing basketball
02:45 because he has a dream that he wants to fulfill.
02:49 I went back to my passion.
02:52 For me, I still want to pursue playing basketball professionally, hopefully.
02:59 So maybe after "Pulang Araw."
