The Feels (Revisiting My Alma Mater)
Hi there #steemians and to #steemit community!
I happened to visit my Alma mater when I had my vacation in the Philippines sometime in October 2017. What I felt is pure awesomeness because I would have never imagined that I could pass the UPCAT (UP College Admission Test) when I was a graduating High School student then.
When I was studying in UP, I never expected that I could graduate in time (I took a 4-Year Course) because it was difficult for me to adjust in such a high pressure environment where professors will not spoon feed the knowledge that they have. I remembered waking up early just to go to the library so I can have more time to look for the books which the professor recommended to read.
Anyway without further ado, here's the shot of University of the Philippines in the Visayas (Miag-ao, Iloilo Campus) Administrative Building where the Registrar's Office is located:
The photo is also focused to that naked guy standing alone. It is called "The Oblation" or Oblasyon in Tagalog/Filipino language. The deeper tagalog/filipino word for it is called "Pahinungod"
A portrait shot of "The Oblation".
A side view of The Oblation. The sculpture is the handwork of Philippine famous National Artist Guillermo E. Tolentino
A back view of the sculpture.
Just another trivia : "The Oblation serves as the iconic symbol of the University of the Philippines. It depicts a man facing upward with arms outstretched, symbolizing selfless offering of oneself to his country." source
