__TOC__
==The UP Oblation==
The Oblation is a concrete statue by Filipino artist [[Guillermo E. Tolentino]].  Depicting a man facing upward with arms outstretched, symbolizing selfless offering of oneself to his country, it serves as the iconic symbol of the [[University of the Philippines]].

The original sculpture of the Oblation is now at the fourth floor of the [[UP Main Library]].

==History of Oblation==
Then [[UP College of Fine Arts]] Professor, [[Guillermo E. Tolentino]], made the Oblation, with the help of [[Anastacio T. Caedo]], his student apprentice, who also served as the model for the sculpture. Caedo would later succeed Tolentino's post as Fine Arts professor after the death of his teacher.
