New Bilibid Inmates Viral Video Balik-Laya Spreads Hope

The New Bilibid Prison medium security inmates wanted to show to the world that there’s hope inside the jail bars as they performed for their first ever video that aims to spread hope not only among prisoners but for all.

According to Balik-Laya, the non-profit organization behind the video, they wanted to restore dignity, one prisoner at a time, so they made a music video featuring different prisoners from the New Bilibid Prison, the Philippines most notorious prison cells.

The video tells about the story of a new inmate who wakes up to the challenge of changing his outlook in life, showing the conditions of our kababayans go through behind bars.

The inmates used the song “Liwanag sa Dilim,” one of the most popular song by Pinoy Band Rivermaya, as an inspiration for their music video.

Meanwhile here’s a video interview with ANC:
