Jackson’s long-time choreographer Travis Payne, helmed the Cebu Dancing Inmates (known to be a YouTube sensation) to the tune of “This is It!” as a tribute to the late King of pop Michael Jackson.
Choreographer Travis Payne, along with his back-up dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid, came to the Philippines to choreograph and danced with the Cebu Dancing Inmates to the tune of Michael Jackson’s This Is It!
This was called “The Drill,” and it was the last choreography Payne and Jackson collaborated on before the King of Pop died last June 2009.
The video was uploaded on YouTube.Com in January 22 and as of today, it had been viewed 602,596 times (as of this writing).
The video of the Cebu Dancing Inmates with Payne and company will be a special feature in the Blu-Ray and DVD copies of Michael Jackson’s “This Is It.”

ipinagmamalaki niyo sila???? wow, sana lang kinunan din ni Jessica Sojo ng video yung mga taong nag-dadalamhati araw araw, nangungulila sa mga pinatay ng mga inmates na to>> magagawa niyo pa bang sabihing “i’m proud of you”.. may mga pinatay, ni rape at may mga ginawa yan sila na karumal-dumal sa kapwa natin… sa bawat palakpak ninyo sa mga taong ito, ay siya rin naman ang agos ng luha ng mga nabiktima ng mga taong ito.. sa bawat pampupuri ninyo sa mga kriminal na to, siya rin namang panlulumo ng mga magulang ng rape victims.. sa bawat sabi niyo na “i’m proud of you” ay siya rin namang pamimilipit sa sakit sa pagdadalamhati ng mga mahal sa buhay ng mga taong ito na pinaslang ng walang awa!…
February 2nd, 2010 at 11:45 am
anuman ang nagawa nila nuon,pinagbabayaran parin nila till now.
pero ipinakita rin nman nila na kahit naging kriminal cla.eh kaya parin nman nilang gmwa ng maganda.Sna imbes na husgahan natin cla,bgyan natin cla ng pagkakataon.maging proud nalng tau sa kapwa natin pilipino…peace to all….
February 2nd, 2010 at 4:01 pm
AZTIG!!! i’m Proudly Pinoy!!!
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:46 pm
grabeee..nagpapatunay na disiplanado talaga ang PINOY kahit saang anggulo… at tunay na tayong Maging proud bilang Pilipino kahit na nasaan po tayong sulok ng daigdig…to all the people who participate in this video Saludooo kamiii ang ganda gandaaa at nakakataba ng pusoo !! God bless po sa lahaattt !!!
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:50 pm
ang Panginoon lang ang me karapatang maghusga at magsalita against sa mga taong nagkasala… we are talking about the things na ginagwa ng Pilipino para sa ikaka Proud natin bilang pilipino …kung ano man sila ngaun me kadahilanan po un….
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:53 am
tama nga kayo, ang Panginoon lang ang meron karapatang humusga sa ating lahat..yun ay sa pag-dating natin sa final destinantion natin..pero tayong mga nasa lupa pa at buhay, ang batas/justice ang ating taga pag-husga at sana taga pag-tanggol.. kapapanood ko pa lang ng “saksi” at ang sabi duon, ang mga nakuha nilang pera ay inilagay sa kanilang mga trust fund… wow, bakit hindi nila nilagay doon sa trust fund ng mga naulila ng pinatay nila??? aber?? kung talagang nag-babagong buhay ang mga yan, the first step is to help their victims..
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:01 am
what the heck?? why give these bastards the “happiness” the they took away from the others.. i don’t get it?? why are these people so happy these murderer and rapist having a good time?? would you still be happy if your sister got raped by one of these guys or your mother got murdered by one of these monster?? c’mon people.. that is so crooked and i’m sorry that is just too much mockery.. how much did the pay michael jackson choreographer?? i hope to goodness that his service was free because it isn’t fair that our justice would spend money to make these inmates happy when our justice shld be spending money for their victims recovery… and don’t give me none of that ” God ” is the only one that can judge us all.. that is so true, but they are all still alive!!… don’t give me none of that “well, they are still in jail”..and your point is what??? they are having a good time and making money.. i bet one of those inmates is saying now ” i’m glad i murdered your father cause now, i’m famous!” … i hope too goodness that nobody else murders anyone hoping to be part of the dancing inmates!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:29 am
super doper wow talaga…ang galing galing…walang katulad ang cebu prisoners…Sana ituloy nyo ang ginagawa nyo..you give happiness to everyone who watches u all….God bless…

February 4th, 2010 at 8:50 am
cant blame the pain of the people out there, na naging biktima ng iba sa mga dancing inmates,but it is also true na di lhat ng prisoner is guilty or masama,lets just hope na whtever they have done wrong, wag ng maulit,we deserve a peaceful community, n i hope these inmates will give us one, kung makalya na cla,
February 4th, 2010 at 10:35 pm

hindi naman pinag uusapan ang kaso ng mga taong nag kasala na naka kulong sa loob,kung hindi ang ipinamalas nilang kakayahan sa pag sayaw ika nga may talent silang ipinamalas sa buong mundo,may mg tao na ayaw nilang tanggapin ang mga bagay na ito. dito talento ang pinag uusapan, kahit sino ka pa ,nasa kulungan ka man o sa labas you can show your talent ,kaya iyon ang sigaw ng mga kababayan natin.humanga sila sa talent na ipinamalas ng mga nasa loob.tama naman ang karamihan na humanga sa kanila di ba….
February 8th, 2010 at 10:36 am
say, SORRY!!!na lang sa mga taong hindi marunong umuntindi ,KAKAYAHAN sa pag SAYAW lang ang ipinamalas nila at hindi ang kaso nila .we all know that some of them were criminals but they were also human,so what’s wrong ,if they want to show their Talent to Dance.

1. I strongly beleive that the 2010 automatic election will fail,because if they have already problems with 450 eligeble voters on mock elections. How much more if there would 50 million voters. There source code which can be move few zeros on the left on the rigth and few zeros on the top and the bottom, is very easy to tamper even it is 128 bit cyphering how about 10 to the power of -26 encryption would be better. Picos machine will just be a matique-matique machines.
