It was a long day last January 5th. I started it out with a 4AM flight to Cebu and then flew back to Manila at 8PM that evening. In between, HK-based freelance writer Alexandra Seno and I spent the day at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC). This may be more familiar as the place where those 1500 inmates in orange garb rekindled the ’80s for a number of you. It was appropriate that I received the YouTube clip right after Angus’ and Jackie’s “’80s Party”. Little did I expect to spend an entire day with them shooting stills and the video!
It was a long day, but loads of fun. I’ve seen a couple of jails out here and the CPDRC is a league above them all. Do check out the video and the photos I shot to accompany the story by Alexandra Seno for the International Herald Tribune.
