University of the Philippines Centennial Logo

Description of the UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES CENTENNIAL LOGO 1908-2008
The Oblation is a symbolic icon representing the UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES. It captures the UP spirit, which has endured for a century: the country’s youth sacrificing itself in the service of the country. This figure is in the foreground of the UP Centennial logo.

Behind it is the Sablay, the sash worn by UP students upon their graduation. It is distinctive, in that across it is inscribed the word “UP” in Alibata letters. This is symbolic of the University’s commitment to remaining the country’s premier institution of higher learning.

Behind the figure of the Oblation is a globe, with the map of the Philippines highlighted. This represents the University’s taking its rightful place in the world as the National University of the Philippines.

Colors:
The University’s official colors - forest green and maroon
Alibata inscription on the Sablay - yellow

Sino ang modelo ng UP Oblation?



Hubo’t hubad na rebulto ng lalaki, nakadipa ang kamay habang nakatingin sa kalangitan, ito ang estatwa na simbulo ng University of the Philippines. Pero totoo nga ba na isang dating sikat na aktor ang naging modelo ng nasabing debuho?

Naging maugong noon na si Fernando Poe Sr, ama ng kinikilalang Hari ng Pelikulang Pinoy na si Fernando Poe Jr ang sinasabing modelo ng UP oblation. Ngunit sa isang libro, lumitaw na hindi si Poe Sr kundi si Anastacio Caedo ang modelo ng debuho.

Si Caedo ay sinasabing estudyante ni Professor Guillermo Tolentino ang lumikha ng debuho noong 1935. Nais umanong ipakita ni Tolentino sa kanyang obra ang nasyunalismo ng isang Filipino. Ang hubo’t hubad na katawan habang nakadipa ang mga kamay ay pagpapakita ng pag-aalay nito ng sarili para sa bayan.

Hindi naglaon, si Caedo ay naging fine arts professors at sinundan ang yapak ni Tolentino sa paglilok. Kabilang sa mga ginawang rebulto ni Caedo ay ang monumento ni Dr. Jose Rizal sa Idelstien, Germany. - GMANews.TV
