The iconic symbol of the University of the Philippines, the Oblation is commonly associated with freedom and its various aspects. Guillermo Tolentino however, inspired by the second stanza of Jose Rizal’s Mi Ultimo Adios, envisioned this monument with its nakedness and outstretched arms to exemplify the virtue of sacrifice in the name of country, thus the term. Its base is an assembly of river stones to symbolize the archipelagic nature of the Philippines, and the kataka-taka leaves that grazes its legs and which is endemic to the country signifies the Filipino people. The Oblation is an excellent portrayal of the classical ideals dignity, balance and restraint as demonstrated in its stance and proportions. Measuring almost 5 meters tall, this statue was unveiled in 1935 by the first Filipino U.P. President, Rafael Palma. In 1949, it was transferred from its original location in U.P. Manila to the Diliman campus escorted by a huge motorcade composed of students, faculty and staff. (https://sculptour.wordpress.com/)
