The music video for "Fruitcake" was directed by the band with help from American director Mark Gary. Shot at Cubao in Quezon City, it shows the band posing as blind musicians and handing out leaflets in barbershops, markets and a carousel before being arrested by a policeman. The video features cameo appearances from Francis M. playing the policeman and singer/actress Agot Isidro.[2]
