The Oblation
Rizal Park, also known as Luneta Park or colloquially Luneta, is a historical urban park located in the heart of the city of Manila, Philippines
The Rizal Monument consists of an obelisk set upon a platform, with a bronze sculpture at the base of the obelisk. It is located near the site where Rizal was executed on December 30, 1896.
A competition for the design of the memorial attracted the interest of several well-known sculptors from around the world. The first place winning design, however, was not constructed due to the failure of the sculptor to post a bond for the duration of the monument’s creation. Instead, what was constructed was the second place design by Swiss sculptor Richard Kissling. The Rizal Monument was completed in 1913, nearly 17 years after Rizal’s execution.
In 1961, a plan to renovate Rizal Park resulted in a stainless steel pylon being superimposed above the stonework obelisk of the Rizal Monument, increasing the structure’s height to 30.5 meters. The modification was broadly disapproved of, and the pylon was removed by 1962.
The Oblation is a sculpture and the iconic symbol of the University of the Philippines -
- a "completely nude figure of a young man with outstretched arms and open hands, with tilted head, closed eyes and parted lips murmuring a prayer, with breast forward in the act of offering himself",
Commissioned on 1935 by Guilermo Tolentino
It symbolizes selfless offering of one's self to his country.
The bronze-colored concrete sculpture is 3.5 meters in height
A leaf called siempreviva (always living) and locally known as kataka-taka (literally means "startling") covers the oblation's genitals. Kataka-taka has a characteristic of starting shoots from its very leaf. The sculptor, said that the leaf symbolizes "the deep-rooted patriotism in the heart of our heroes".
The rocky base represents the rugged Philippine archipelago.

QUEZON CITY, METRO MANILA – Forty-nine years ago, a plane going to Athens, Greece crashed in the ocean of Bombay, India, killing 62 passengers including 24 members of the Philippine Boy Scout delegation going to the 11th Boy Scout World Jamboree in Marathon, Athens.
The parents of the Boy Scouts and leaders of the Boy Scout of the Philippines prayed for survivors. Unfortunately, only five bodies of the Boy Scouts were positively identified. The rest were either charred or were lost at sea.
The memorial, which used to be just a round monolith, was renovated last 2008 under the auspices of former Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte. An obelisk now stands above the old monument, topped by a statue of Tomas Morato, the first mayor of Quezon City.
