"Pahinungod" (Oblation)

This concrete statue is the symbol of University of the Philippines. This was made by Filipino National Artist for Sculpture Guillermo Tolentino. It's a statue of a man facing upward with arms outstretched, which means selfless offering of oneself to his country.


This was taken in UP Los Banos
