From Manny Pacquiao to Michael Jackson Nothing beats Filipino Pride! And I mean Nothing! By Kyle Lucas (June 28, 2009)
From Manny Pacquiao to Michael Jackson, it truly seems like there isn't a nation that shows more Pride than the fine people of the Philippines. Let me explain.
First there is no need for explanation on the subject of why a Filipino is proud of Pacquiao. It's pretty obvious what Pacquiao means to the nation of the Philippines. However when you see all the tributes in the past and present in regards to music star Michael Jackson who died earlier this week, once again Filipino pride stands out. What am I talking about? Well the proof is in the pudding and the pudding is one very popular Youtube video. You probably already seen it awhile back, but it's popularity is surging once again. You know what I am talking about....the Filipino Jailbirds doing their "Thriller" routine. It's simply amazing, fun to watch and once again Filipino Pride rides high.
Even in Jail the Filipino's show impressive pride. C'mon, really...where on earth do Jailbirds show Pride?! I've posted the video below. Enjoy it... it's one of the most viewed Video's on You Tube. Apparently the Jail Birds are going to be doing an updated version... but for now, here is the original. One thing is certain about the Philippines... there is so much Pride amongst the people.... its a Nation you'd never want to go to war with... because with the Pride they show as a Nation... you could NEVER defeat them. NEVER!
I wouldn't want to spend any time in any Jail... but I got to say... prison life don't seem so bad in the Philipines!
Enjoy the Video... Enjoy the Pride! But mostly, enjoy the Filipino people... we could all learn from such a great Nation of People.
Video Synopsis: 1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines at practice! This is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser.
And now....The Greatest Tribute Ever to Michael Jackson!!
