The members of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity held their annual Oblation Run on December 11, 2009. Students from the University of the Philippines run naked around campus in a tradition that began in 1977. Each year the students run for a "cause". The theme of this year's run is Climate Change.
The Oblation Run was started as a protest against the banning of the play, ‘Hubad na Bayani’ (Naked Hero); a political satire on the late President Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorial rule. The APO said that more than a form of protest, their running bare-naked was more like a reminder to the UP students of the symbolism of the Oblation statue – a selfless offering of the Filipinos to their country.
Below are some scenes from Oblation Run 2009: Warning the following scenes portray full frontal male nudity.
