I tweeted about the video of Cebu's dancing inmates two days ago. Yesterday it was all over television and I am just so glad these inmates are getting their much deserved attention. This is beyond Will Devaugn's special apperance (heck, I didn't even see him! hahaha)
This Is It
If you've seen the video, you'd notice how clean the place is. Then the inmates. Imagine how much effort and discipline they put in each routine. In this particular video, they only had two days to learn the routine and then shoot na. Grabe, I can't imagine. Beyond being part of the DVD of This Is It, this is about hope for these inmates. This is a message that they can do something else. That they are likable and people respect them for what they do. Their image is soooo far from the Pinoy movies where prison cells are dirty, stinky, cramped and full of addicts and goon-like men. Dang, if I ever had to be imprisoned I'd like to be imprisoned in Cebu. HAHAHA
I just love it when these kinds of stories boost the morale of the Filipinos. When I visit Cebu, I hope to watch their performance. haha! And I read that the lead guy in this next video was given the role as a farewell performance because he will be moved to Muntinlupa Prison to serve three consecutive life sentences for triple murder. (huhuhu nakakaiyak!) See how much they give importance to these kinds of moments? The performance is like a 'pabaon' of good and groovy memories. gaaah ok I better stop writing because I'm at the verge of crying. hahaha The humor in the intro is a little offensive for the lead man pero keri naman coz he was joking too so sige na. game, watch na!
