Centennial Celebration
On January 8, 2008, the University of the Philippines began its centennial celebration.
As part of U.P.'s centenary, a second Oblation statue in front of the Philippine General Hospital was unveiled on December 2008. It mirrors U.P. Diliman's possession of a second Oblation statue, which marked the 50th anniversary of the U.P. System, as this second U.P. Manila Oblation is the Centennial Marker of the system.

Famous quotes containing the word celebration:
“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
