Philippine Prisoners Dance “Thriller”
1,500 Philippine prisoners dance to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) in Cebu, Philippines. LOVE IT!!! Watch the video below –
And as an added bonus, check out the inmates of CPDRC dancing to “I Will Follow Him” from Sister Act and “Hail Holy Queen” from Sister Act 2. AND to top it off, they also performed Queen’s “Radio Gaga”.
Who wants to go to jail now??
Philippine prisoners dancer to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”
Do you think they had to audition the role of the man in drag? Or to be in that lead triangle?

haha omg WTF?!?? that was very funny.
wow.. really funny!! we filipinos can really find things to amuse themselves!! rofl!
geeeze, if you watch filipino program, youll know they are alll about the dancing.
good past time, Galing!
This is so cool! Love Mike!
That was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. hahaha. Funny.
I would hate to be the guy who dressed in drag for the dance. You know everyone was probably chasing after him like a piece of meat after that.
They are bunch of psychos!!!!!
So funny my coworker and I were just talking about this during lunch break. Thanks Jared, I don’t have to search for it on youtube anymore. Gotta love my home country. Pinoy rules!
Hahaha, this is killer.
hahaha lmao!! wtf?
Hahaha i love this, this is genious!
The guys who made it to the triangle probably were the best behaved lol :D
Oh and that “girl” kills me everytime lol
Great way to stay in shape. What’s next? An exercise video from those inmates?
Great! I love it! The Sister Act “Hail Holy Queen” was my 2nd favorite…Thriller was of course the my favorite! The guy in drag was too much!
ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES!
the “girl” is an inmate too.
Winner!
I saw this a couple weeks ago and loved it then too. Can you believe how serious they all took it? I live in Louisiana and cannot even imagine them trying to get a group together at Angola.
What a genius idea, I wonder who thought of it. A good way to keep prisoners out of trouble, from fighting each other. Keep ‘em dancing.
Well, well, well, something to be proud of!!;) I heart shia.LOL
At least they dont need makeup…..those are some UGLY phillipino people
LMAO! LOL! i saw this over the weekend, one of the most hilarious i’ve seen. i told everyone to check it out.
This is the best post of the year!sexy
I mean thread. LOL
I am a Filipino myself and I know how life in the Philippines can be so difficult. Most of these men are driven by the need to survive, poverty being the cause of their own demise. Although of course, the choice will always be theirs.
We are grateful these inmates have something worthwhile to do inside those cells. And these videos tell so much about us, Filipinos. That despite life’s odds and difficulties, all the suffering, our resilience will withstand anything.
Cool post Jared.
prison in the philippines sounds like fun lmao.
Hmmm not sure how I feel about inmates havin fun? Good selection of song tho
LOLOL! Oh god, that was strangely hilarious. Whoever thought of that gets a pat on the back. Way to keep the inmates occupied in a good way.
WHOO HOO.
filipino’s represent!
hahahahha
im pinay so dont hate yall.
best video music of the year. LMAO
OH. MY. GAA.
this is SOOO cool hehe
and this is much better than watching inmates beat each other up…
filipinos loves to sing, dance and have a great sense of humor, even during the worst times
i should know, Filipino ako :)

******************************
Why not? Let them have some fun and recreation, keeps morale up, and violence down while they are there in the system. It is a brilliant idea.

You should be proud of your country. The videos are a testament of the Philippians doing something positive in their prisons.
I am from Luzon and now live in California. I haven’t met any Filipino who doesn’t know how to dance. Thanks JJ. Unique post of my countrymen.
wow, this is very interesting and cool at the same time. im happy how the filipino prisoners are trying to keep to a positive attitude by dancing! how did they manage to coordinate this whole thing together? ahha, anyhow, that was fun to watch!
THIS IS A SETUP!!!!!!!! SO FAKE!

THIS IS A SETUP!!!!!!!! SO FAKE!
***************************************
FYI - I noticed that the one who uploaded the video is the brother of the current governor of the province of Cebu.
They also did a great routine during the ASEAN Summit last year.
P.S. Thanks JJ for this thread…..
Pinoys are mostly “dancerous”…..LOL!
That gave something to smile about.
At least they aren’t making trouble inside.
They look so harmless to be prisoners when you can coax them to dance to this ****. LOl.
I wonder if they’ll be on tour soon???!!! hahaha
this is crazy! GRABE! (tagalog) parang bahay ni kuya (big brother phils.) so typical of filipinos dancing…
hahaha flips are cool.
do other countries find filipino people ugly?
ouch! hahaha.
jared, are you filipino?
prison break season 3! haha!
Only in the Philippines!
Very very funny, and heartwarming…
Thanks JJ
go pinoys Go…
mabuhay tayo
go pinoys!we totally rock!proud to be pinoy!:)
This is a real prison, right?
hmmm…i’d like to see prison break’s michael scofield break out from that prison! hahah!
Wow, are they really all prisoners? They should do that more often just for a recreation. Prisons in the Philippines are notorious for being bad, at least, prisoners have a positive outlet.
Strange, I would of liked to see Paris star in this or Lindsey
prisoners are not supposed to have fun…
LOL, props to my kababayans? a great way to exercise!
HILARIOUS!!!!! It’s a winner!
Oh man… seriously only in the Philippines.
I don’t know if I should be proud or kind of embarrassed. lol Just kidding.
Anyway, it’s hilarious…
This is absolutely amazing! :) One of the most fun things I ever saw in my life. And.. A good thing to do for them, and us as well. :) Loved it!
get lost guys!!! they probably having fun, at least they have time to dance with theyre favorite music….lol…
hahahha! tang inang yan! galing~!
THE GUY IN THE MIDDLE IS A GREAT DANCER!
he dances with passion… very awesome!
HILARIOUS! HOW INHUMANE…THE TORTURE THESE GUYS MUST BE GOING THRU.. MICHAEL JACKSON! THRILLER! WHERE IS THE HUMANE SOCIETY WHEN YOU NEED THEM!CHECK OUT “OLA RAY”! HILARIOUS!
WHY ARE THEIR UNIFORMS WRITTEN IN ENGLISH?
LOL, I just saw a quick segment of the video on The Daily 10. Entertainment shows def browse blogs.

it’s better for them to do this than try killing one another
um to dumbass 64.
yes believe it or not we do speak English in the Philippines.
educate yourself ******.
FYI..that’s is actually a morning exercise, and eventually evolved into dancing..
and this one, they are practicing in preparation for the Centre’s Foundation Day.. :)
can’t wait for the actual presentation..
Awesome. Here’s an article that talks about the idea behind this sort of activity:
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb/2006/07/07/oped/byron.f..garcia.consultant.on.security.cebu.provincial.government..html
Quite interesting and a different point of view. In the Philippines, they even have a prison that has no jail cells and inmates can live with their families. It is in my opinion the pinnacle of criminal rehab.
This is best.Who said prisoners dont have purposed in this world?See?Im sure this is one of the book of record
well.. i think this is ridicously stupid ..jared, why did you have to waste a post like this? no one cares about stupid fillipinos dancing to thriller..by the one who likes to touch and rape little boys..micheal jackson probabaly had one on one time with every fillipino there =) .
haha. funny funny.
Torylee,
it takes one to know one…THE ONLY STUPID HERE IS “YOU”…STUPID RACIST BIGOT MONKEY ASS… come face to face with me and i will show you how STUPID AND IDIOT you are ******!!! PROUD TO BE CALLED PINAY..and i truly support my fellow pinoys and pinays wherever they are.. and for you ******, drop dead!!! STUPID!!!
Oh man, I can’t help looking at this over and over again. LOL! Awesome!!!!!
MY GOD !
I JUST LOVE WHAT THEY’VE MADE !!!
IF I WERE MICKEAL JACKSON,I’D GO DANCE WITH THEM AND I’D KEEP A REMAKE “THRILLER” CLIP OF IT !!!
AND TO BAD MINDED PEOPLE WHO’D SAY : “THAT’S ENCOURAGING BAD GUYS” _ THE PRISONERS_
I’D REPLY :
“WHAT BAD IS IT ?!!!! IT’S SO UNTRUE !!!
WE’RE SO USED HEARING THE WORST STORIES ABOUT PRISONS, VIOLENCE, BLOOD, MURDER …
I THINK THESE GUYS HAVE JUST SHOWN THE WORLD HOW STRONG IS THEIR MIND. SHOWING HOW WE COULD HAVE FUN AND DO A GREAT THING IN THE WORST PLACE NOONE WANTS TO BE !!!
IT’S COOL !!!
DOES ANYONE AGREE?
SEE YOU !
AND THANKS FOR THE SHOW !
