The Success of the Filipino Thriller Video

The Thriller performance by Filipino prisoners has been a success. As of last Thursday, the video had been viewed nearly 4.4 million times on YouTube. Crisanto Nierre, the person who plays Michael in this video, has been a fan of Michael Jackson since his teenage years. He says: "I hope that all the people who watch this video will be happy to know that, despite being in prison, we were able to do this." Nierre has been imprisoned for drug trafficking.
