Oblation Run 2009
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.
