David Archuleta has Filipino lineage?
There’s a lot of buzz going around that American Idol season 7 contestant David Archuleta has Filipino lineage.
This has yet to be confirmed on the show or on the official idol web site. According to the google’s cached page of TV.com’s page of David Archuleta, David is “Hispanic Filipino” but as of this posting, it has been changed to “Hispanic American“. We’ve also read that a local television station here in the Philippines reported that he is Filipino but didn’t elaborate on the report’s source. The reason that we want to know is because if he’s really Filipino then we should feature his performances here on Mukamo just like what we do with Ramiele Malubay (who is definitely Filipino). Anyway, here’s David Archuleta’s rendition of John Lennon’s Imagine. But Filipino or not, David is a serious contender for the title of American Idol 7.

if david’s not a filipino
them we should blame qtv channel 11.
i just remembered that they were the 1st local tv network
mentioning david being a filipino
in their show news on Q…
an erratum should be made, if that’s the case…
February 28th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
that’s “then” not “them”
February 29th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
He’s half Honduran (Honduras). As much as I like him to be Filipino (coz I am one), he’s not.
here’s my very trusted source

you knew what david i thought your a good boy but then i was really disappointed…even philippines has too much problem thats not enough idia for you to say that you dont want to be a filipino.Good Remiele i knew you will win i pray for your success.nice day
March 1st, 2008 at 3:12 pm
he’s good based from what i’ve watched in the past weeks of american idol he was one of the great contender…..but i think he’s gay…..!11based from his moves the way he laughed…that was just a speculation…how most of my friends are gay and some our closet gay their attitude and doings as well have the same things with my friends.
anywyzzzzzzzzzzzz…….i love him…!
March 1st, 2008 at 11:33 pm
i dont care if he’s a filipino,he’s not proud to be one,hndi sya kawalan sa lahing pinoy…sna nga manalo c ramiele,sya ang tunay na pinoy,mabuhay ka ramiele…
March 1st, 2008 at 11:36 pm
c randy jackson ata may lahing pinoy,nkatira ata sya dati sa zambales…
March 2nd, 2008 at 3:21 am
who cares if he’s not filipino. If he is one, then he should be proud just like Ramielle. If he’s embarrassed by it then too bad–filipinos are really great singers.
but i have to say.
Ramielle is doing a great job being proud to be filipina. Jasmine nor Camille Velasco didnt really tell the whole world that they have Filipino blood(they were more into the Hawaiian thing). At least this time–Ramielle is proud to represent not only the Filipinos…but take note the Asian community.Props to Ramielle– The United States is full of Asian people.

wag ng pakialaman ang mga Pinoy na di marunong magtagalog.
mas proud pa ako kay vince bueno kasi diretso magtagalog, tsaka proud OFW ang parents nya. sya ang dapat suportahan at ipagmalaki
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:16 am
I’ve watched A.I.’s opening number last friday and in fairness ramielle and david look gud together coz’ they both have such cute statures
March 3rd, 2008 at 5:06 pm
hispanic filipino? filipino is hispanic na nga.. how redundunt…
March 4th, 2008 at 1:21 am
He’s half Honduran.
March 5th, 2008 at 9:10 am
He so cute when he cried, after alexandrea’s elimination… Maybe they are really bestfrieds! even if he’s not a filipino, I still love him.. He is phenomenal! Gud Luck David…!
March 5th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
to david a:
if you are ashamed of being a filipino, you may have some bases… we are just unlucky we are born filipinos, or lucky? only time tells, God knows when…
March 5th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
to david a. :
we filipinos have so much to be proud of… what you have said may be true but they are not the only things that makes us Filipino… the Philippines is just not lucky to have good leaders…
March 7th, 2008 at 11:55 am
if david is not a filipino,fine then…we filipinos have many people to be proud of.not only him…but if he’s filipino,i’m dissapointed that he is ashamed of being a filipino(what’s the problem of being one?) but it’s okay… i’m still a david archuleta’s certified fan…hehehehe…go David!
March 7th, 2008 at 11:57 am
by the way…I forgot… go ramielle!go!go!go! good luck!
March 7th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
People, they are not FILIPINOS they are AMERICANS they or their parents have denounced their Filipino citizenship already so why bother knowing? You cannot be proud by that fact alone eh?
March 7th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
whoever said filipino is hispanic is mistaken, although filipino has lots of spanish roots, filipino is considered pacific islander..if anything david is south american such as from chile as some are saying here OR central american if he’s from honduras, he certaintly does not strike me as being filipino, Now danny noreiga is a different story, he looks part filipino…
March 8th, 2008 at 5:41 am
david a….if ur not a real filipino…just dont say any comment…u might hurt us….we luv u…i know u will be d next american idol 7…ur d best….keep it up….i will pray for u…especialy for ms, malubay…im proud of u….
March 8th, 2008 at 5:44 am
go go…ms malubay…fight…aja…hehehe….ur d best….luv u…
March 8th, 2008 at 6:46 am
I’m a Filipino and proud to be one. I know how nationalistic we are and become even more proud of those with Filipino lineage making a name in the international arena. But I sort of feel a bit embarrassed for those who claim that so-and-so is a Filipino when in fact he is not. Before making a claim, please confirm it. Let’s grow up.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:50 am
if david a. really has filipino blood then that’s great, but really, it all comes down to whoever can sing best and who can win the crowd. plus i don’t think that the “david a.” who posted some of his/her comments on here is the real deal, so try not to think of david that way. I’m proud to be Filipino. It would be nice for Ramiele to win (pinoy pride!) but I do have to be honest and say that I am rooting for David because I think he has a very wonderful voice + he is also overflowing with charisma. in any case, may the best guy/girl on AI win!
March 9th, 2008 at 10:37 am
hey, why so concerned of race? there is nothing to be proud of being filipinos because we have been known to have corrupt leaders who never leave the seat of power except by coup detat or revolution!!! to david a: if you are digusted of being filipino, i understand the crises, your identity crises… me? disgusted also, because being a filipino means having to live with the stigma that our leaders are corrupt and will forever be corrupt and will cling to the power no matter what, till death do them part….
March 9th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
all i can say is god is only the one who knows whats the truth! its just up to the person if they will be proud of it. do not judge people!
March 9th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
I am very ,very proud for being a filpino! all of s must be prod of it!
March 10th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
david was and is great..very young, very promising..great talent!

March 15th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
oops…. he’s not chilean-american…. Official websites says he’s HONDURAN-AMERICAN…. Her mom is from Honduras, her dad is from USA…. Her mom might probably be of filipino descent but still unconfirmed…
March 19th, 2008 at 10:41 am
I am a Filipino, I am very proud of being a filipino. Go Ramielle.
March 19th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
I think he’s not Filipino.
However, if he does have Fil blood and he’s not acknowledging it…
I dont care.
If he doesnt want to be one, then so be it… Go and be like Vanessa Ann Hudgens (she never cared about her roots…)
Go Ramiele!
March 19th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
hey david u say u do not want to be a filopino because of the current sitution then what do u think abt the ppl livin in pakistan
March 20th, 2008 at 1:14 am
People, get a life!
David is happy of who he is, Ramiel is happy of she is. Their identities or lineage is none of you business and it is not important. What can you benefit from that. Recognition? Give me a break!
You should be focusing on how to give back to your country and its welfare. Enough said.
March 22nd, 2008 at 2:21 pm
HI
March 22nd, 2008 at 2:23 pm

Randy Jackson is a Filipino too, I heard. And oh yeah let’s not forget Brian Dunkleman from Season 1 American Idol he is Fil-Am.
March 25th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
To all Filipinos: Why do you deny the fact that our country is flawed, full of selfish people? I mean it is human nature to be selfish? If you truly love our countrymen, you will not be ashamed of admitting this to yourself!!!
To all non-Filipinos: Mind your own business!!! Your countries have problems too. You have senators, congressmen, etc. involved in sexual scandals and corrupt acts!!! You all need a whipping!!!
TO DAVID: Ah yes!!! David!!! How are you with Jonathan? Is Saul still jelous of your relationship with his son? Gosh!!! Remember, don’t go bare! It’s dangerous!!! hahahahahahhahahaha
TO DAVID ARCHULETA: Wow!!! I love your performances!!!

March 31st, 2008 at 9:02 am
David is NOT Filipino, if he was and he’s not proud of it, who cares? but he’s not. He is Honduran - American. Whether they say he’s Filipino, whatever, we still love him. GO DAVID ARCHULETA! c:
April 1st, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I don’t think so, but I’m still proud of him! Arch Angel Forever!!
April 22nd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
And you actually believe that is David Archuleta typing? It’s called an IMPERSONATOR. David wouldn’t be typing in front of his computer. He would have been rehearsing.
May 5th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
ms shannon a is right. duh. didnt it crossed ur minds dat he is not the one who is typing hir. its an IMPERSONATOR. he’s in a contest, fighting and for sure he will not say those for he knows that he will be intrigue once hell say it. so people stop arguing . it is just a simple matter & ur making it so complicated.
even he is a filipino or wat. who cares?
to the IMPERSONATOR up there:
just shut ur mouth and stop pretending ur david a.
To the REAL DAVID ARCHULETA:
i love ur voice, its enchanting:) hope youll win. God bless:)
