This video is a documentary about the prisoners at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines. It's work-safe and just under 10 minutes long.

Even though it's in Tagalog, they drop into English enough for you to follow what's going on (IMHO). For those of you who want to know what they're saying, here's the same documentary with English subtitles:

I ganked this from [livejournal.com profile] qfyd.

Here's a link to a version of the video you can download.

Here's a video of them on American TV (Jimmy Kimmel Live) with subtitles translating what they're singing, along with a downloadable version.
