The video below shows the inmates from the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison here in the Philippines, dancing to Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us”. Ironic isn’t it that they should be dancing to that song. I’m pretty sure that many people, specially their friends and family, still do care about them.

The dance was choreographed by Michale Jackson’s long-time choreographer Travis Payne. With him are dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid. This video will be included in the DVD release of “This Is It”.

The inmates of CPDRC became instant internet celebrities after their “Thriller” dance video got uploaded in YouTube. As of this writing, that particular video has reached a total of 37,820,370 views and still rising. (see video below)

The success of their first video lead to more dance videos being uploaded and it got wide media following. The Pinoy Big Brother housemates even visited them and had the pleasure of dancing with them. They also danced the “Bilog Na Hugis Itlog” with the Sex Bomb Girls.

They were also featured by CNN in various occasions and the most notable one was during their tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. As you will see from the video that CNN’s Correspondent was really having a great time covering the event.

By the way, you can grab a copy of Michael Jackson’s This Is It Movie on DVD, Blueray and other formats below.
