00:00So, for you, what is the oblation?

00:02What is that?

00:04What is that?

00:06I'm like, I'm like...

00:08...I'm like...

00:10...I'm like...

00:12...I'm like...

00:13...I'm like, it's the symbol of the UPD.

00:17Why is that the symbol of this?

00:19Why is that like that?

00:21It's like freedom.

00:23I don't judge.

00:25What does he want to say to the Philippines?

00:30What is the oblation?

00:32The oblation symbolizes my knowledge.

00:36Guillermo Tellentino had this idea to come up with a naked figure of a male

00:45to represent one's offering to the nation.

00:49We know that during that particular period,

00:53slowly, we were finding our place as a democracy within the Asia-Pacific region.

01:00And for someone who was educated in the United States than in Europe,

01:05he experienced this idea of...

01:09...parang mas universal, global sense of what it is to be a democracy.

01:17And he wanted to somehow encapsulate that within a figure.

01:21And the naked figure somehow embodies yung parang an acceptance of this challenge and role.

01:29But at the same time, it also acknowledges fragility, no?

01:33Kasi naked nga siya, no?

01:35So the original figure was actually completely nude, no?

01:39Naging usap-usapan noon na si Fernando Pau Sr.,

01:44tanyag na artista noon at ama ni FPJ,

01:47ang modelo ni Tolentino para sa oblation.

01:51Myth pala yun.

01:52Myth talaga yun.

01:53Myth lang talaga yun.

01:54Pero ang totoong ano niya,

01:55was his assistant, no?

01:57Assistant ni Guillermo Tolentino.

01:58Ni Tolentino.

01:59Which was Anastasio Caido.

02:01Anastasio Caido was a swimmer, no?

02:04He had the physique.

02:05He also became an artist.

02:06Yes, he is.

02:07He's a very good artist, no?

02:08And ginawa rin basis ni Guillermo Tolentino,

02:11eh isang pinsan rin ni Anastasio Caido.

02:15So dalawa silang basic.

02:17But why do you need two models?

02:18Wouldn't it have been easier to have just one?

02:20Well, sometimes, you know.

02:21I mean, you get the best of both worlds, kumbaga.

02:24But ito is completely Filipino, no?

02:27Kung titignan mo yung ulo, yung scale niya,

02:31at this particular vantage point has the Filipino physique.

02:35Maraming salamat sa pagtutok sa eyewitness, mga kapuso.

02:39Ano masasabi niyo sa dokumentaryong ito?
