Instructions: On the space provided, write your insights on the following story behind the oblation statue of
the University of the Philippines ( UP). It is credible source material or not?
When you visit any UP campus, it is not difficult to see the oblation. In the UP Diliman campus, the
popular statue, measuring 3.5 meters in height, was constructed during the university presidency of
Rafael Palma. First-time observers, whether part of the Up community or not, usually ask” Who is the
model of the famous UP symbol, the Oblation?”
The answer is Fernando Poe, Sr., a UP student during the time. National artist Guillermo Tolentino, a
professor at the UP school of Fine Arts, created the statue.
