Comeback project ni G Tongi ang Nandito Ako, ang mini-serye ng TV5 na pinagbibidahan ng international male singer na si David Archuleta.

Paano nakumbinsi si G ng TV5 na magbalik-showbiz? Talent fee?

Tumawa muna si G bago sinabing... "Hindi ako tinawaran."

"The real basis was Joann Bañaga. She was the one who contacted me.

"She was my first producer for my film, Rollerboys, nasa Regal pa ako nun."

Production unit manager si Joann ng TV5.

"So when she reached out to me I go, 'Oh okay, they're really interested.'

"They sent me the script right away, they sent me the breakdown of my character, I liked it.

"We didn't even have to negotiate. They asked me my rate I said it was this, they said okay, and that was it."

Bukod kina David at G, mapapanood sa Nandito Ako sina Jasmine Curtis Smith at Eula Caballero, at sina Aiko Melendez, Gelli de Belen, Ana Capri, Alwyn Uytingco, Mon Confiado at si Miss Perla Bautista.

Mapapanood na ito sa February 20, sa direksyon ni Mac Alejandre.

What's it like working with David Archuleta?

"It was very pleasant. He's a very nice guy, mabait talaga siya, pero nung napanood ko ngayon, ibang klase!"

First time niyang napanood kumanta at mag-perform si David nang kunan kagabi ang eksena kung saan nagko-concert si David as Josh Bradley, ang karakter na ginagampanan ng American Idol runnerup.

"Certified David Archuleta fan na ako! "
