00:34Gorya ka puso.
00:35Perfect na perfect na ni David.
00:39And David, of course, it's been a long time since you last visited the Philippines.
00:42Six years to be exact. What did you miss most about the Philippines?
00:46Oh my gosh. I missed just the Pinoy.
00:48The Pinoy Archies and the Pinoys and the people, the culture, the food.
00:53I just, everyone, I feel like the Philippines is so good at making people feel at home and feel welcome.
00:58We're known for that, being hospitable.
00:59Yeah.
01:00And we're glad to hear that, that we're treating you very, very well.
01:04I'm so excited for you to come back here because we've been waiting six long years for your return.
01:08I know. I've been waiting six long years to come back.
01:10You know, there was the whole pandemic and everything that happened.
01:12Oh, there you go. Absolutely.
01:13And it's about time you give us a show again and hear your beautiful voice for the Filipinos.
01:19Even if it's been a while since you've been here, you're still so loved by your Pinoy fans.
01:24What can you say about that, David?
01:25I love, I just love all, mahal ko kayo.
01:28Oh, you know.
01:29There's just, you know what to say.
01:31Like, there's, I think there's, when I come here, it's like, not only are they big fans of, like, American Idol and the songs I've released,
01:37but I feel like we act the same.
01:39So I'm like, oh my gosh, when I come, I'm like, I see myself so much in the Filipino culture.
01:44So I was like, oh my gosh, am I Filipino?
01:47Everyone thought I was going to be partially Filipino.
01:50Maybe.
01:51Sorry, I just saw my mom on there.
01:53Yeah, it was, yeah.
01:55So it's like doing an OPM album for the fans here and doing a miniserie, Nandito Ako.
02:01Yeah.
02:01It's just like, I just feel so a part of everyone here and like, they're a part of my life now.
02:07And so I'm always excited.
02:09We are connected.
02:10You know Filipinos are really good singers, most of us.
02:12Incredible.
02:13Yeah.
02:13And now everyone, the world knows it now.
02:16Like everyone goes viral on TikTok when they're like, people are just like at their home and everyone's always like, oh my gosh.
02:20That's a Filipino.
02:21How does every Filipino know how to sing so amazing?
02:24Oh, so there's another reason for that connection maybe, yeah?
02:26I noticed that, yeah.
02:28By the way, David, what are your plans during your stay here?
02:30My plans?
