As the world still mourns over the loss of the King of Pop – Michael Jackson, some 1,500 Cebu inmates paid tribute to the music legend with the latter’s childhood repertoire.
In a statement, Byron Garcia, Cebu provincial’s jail consultant who uploaded the 9-minute video said that: he “wanted to present Michael Jackson as a child—pure and free from the politics of stardom.”
The 9-minute video featured the inmates performances to the tunes of “Ben”, “I’ll be there”, and “We are the world”. It continues to draw local and international followers. The group catapulted to stardom when it performed Jackson’s “Thriller” via youtube.
Here’s their tribute to Michael Jackson. May he rest in peace!
