Stuart Jay Raj เหนือชั้น 1000 แปลก CEBU CPRDC Philippines Prison Michael Jackson Thriller Dancing Byron Garcia 2 of 2

We traveled down across to the Philippines and right into the heart of a typhoon in October 2009 to go and get a close up look of what all the

commotion has been about at Cebu's maximum security regional prison.

What was waiting for us totally blew me away. Byron Garcia has been running a programme for a year or so now at the facility that has got

behavioural experts talking all over the globe.

Once a month, 1,500 odd prisoners (out of a total of around 1800 prisoners at the facility) put on a dancing spectacular for a crown of over

1,000 spectators that fly in from all parts of the globe. The prisoners perform for 3 hours in the blazing sun - but seemed to really enjoy every

moment of it - I think especially the last bit where they get to dance with and take photos with the guests - many of them hot looking young

Korean and other international women who have for some reason or other made their way to Cebu.

They gave me a real prison outfit to take home - it was Halloween the next night and I thought of wearing the suit out as a Halloween

costume - then I thought twice. It could very well backfire on me and I could end up finding myself not being able to leave the country!

In the first of 2 clips, we look at the performances and what it's like in the prison.

In the 2nd clip, we get a one on one interview with the brain behind it all - Byron Garcia. You can find his blog here:

Wonderful tnx for the vid..hehe I hope You put subtitles on it,,hehe

He actually uttered Tagalog words which is the primary language in the Philippines. It does have a lot of similarities with Bahasa Indonesia/Melayu though. Majority of Philippine languages and dialects have similarities with Bahasa in much the same way that Filipinos have a lot of similarities with Thai people as well. Tha'ts ASEAN for you. Maraming Salamat and Khorb Khun =)
