“American Idol season 7 runner-up David Archuleta, overwhelmed by the warm welcome given by Filipino fans, promised to give a good show with AI winner David Cook this Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds. Video by INQUIRER.net production specialist Janie Octia.”
Both Davids are Swine Flu free according to this report from E! Online.. Good to know they’re both healthy and piggie flu free!
“Has the swine flu struck American Idol?
Well, we hope not, but the Philippines wants to be sure. The country’s health bosses are giving David Cook and David Archuleta a rigorous checkup to be certain they haven’t got it before they play a concert in a large mall on Saturday.
Quarantine officials came knocking on their hotel room doors shortly after they arrived, according to Agence France-Presse. Edgardo Sabitsana, director of the quarantine bureau, told them they could be held, arrested or detained and their concert could be banned if they did not cooperate.
Sabitsana claims it took the former rivals nearly three hours to accede, during which time they were on the phone with their attorneys. But in the end, the Davids agreed to the checkup. Their managers vowed to watch for symptoms, including taking their temperature at least twice per day
Despite the seemingly harsh measures, the Philippines has yet to confirm a single case of the H1N1 virus, according to Health Secretary Francisco Duque.
At least their show will go on as scheduled, unlike the postponed Jonas Brothers gig and the Mexican premieres of Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels & Demons and Terminator: Salvation.”

Archie is Swine Flu free? GASP! ..not.
Swine Flu is disgustingly overblown by the media. people like feeling like they’re in some sort of horror movie where’s this ‘pandemic’ going on, even though they know very well they have a better chance of getting like, small pox, than Swine Flu.

Well better safe than sorry. I also wish that Cook will stop referring to David Archuleta as Archie on interviews. His name is DAVID. David Archuleta never refers to David Cook as Cookie :) It does not matter, it just makes Cook look bad. David Archuleta is more popular in Asia than Cook anyway. Archuleta has already traveled to Malaysia, Singapore, the UK, Philippines and this is Cook’s first trip overseas. We wish them both a lot of success but I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA
