Thrilla in Manila | Happy Halloween!
Borrowing the title of Muhammad Ali's historic bout Thrilla in Manila in the Philippines, it's Thrilla in Manila for real (yeah, yeah, the prisoners are actually in Cebu). They're wearing orange jumpsuits and performing to Michael Jackson's Thriller (HERE or under the cut), so it's perfect for Halloween.
The clip features an unusual physical fitness regime that's compulsory for all 1,600 inmates at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre in the Philippines. The most popular routine has been the dancing routine to Thriller, the brainchild of Byron Garcia, a security consultant for the Cebu provincial government. He said it had helped "drastically" improve inmate behaviour, and the videos have become a source of great pride for the prisoners.
Mwahaha! Happy Halloween!
