Philippine Prisoners Come Together For an Amazing Michael Jackson Choreography

Things are not always what they seem, and at times, something totally unexpected might surprise you. For example, when most of us think about prisoners, we don’t typically think about anything enjoyable, but that isn’t always true. At the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines, something that takes place behind those bars is not only entertaining, it is downright fantastic!

The prisoners at that location have been involved in different projects, and their first video posted online was an internet sensation. Although it was not meant to entertain, it certainly did have that effect and since the time it was posted, it has received over 60 million views. What they are doing is part of an organized activity to get some exercise and to stay positive.

In this video, Travis Payne pays them a visit. He was Michael Jackson’s choreographer and he helps the prisoners get ready for an awesome video. They work for hours every day to prepare, and it really pays off. Although they are behind bars for some serious crimes, they are learning to have a sense of community through these efforts.
