00:00One day, we went to the University of the Philippines, Diliman,

00:13a few years ago.

00:23Under renovation is the main library.

00:27May sinadya kami ritong matagal na ring nakatago.

00:32Ang laki pala nito.

00:34Ang hirap ma-imagine na punong-puno ito ng estudyante.

00:39Medyo matagal na itong rehab ng UP Library.

00:44Dapat daw 2023 pa raw natapos,

00:47pero mukhang medyo malayo-layo pa.

00:51Pero dito nakastore yung hinahanap natin.

00:57Hello! Magandang araw po!

01:08Magandang araw po! Welcome po!

01:10Thank you for allowing us to be here.

01:12Oh, of course.

01:14Thank you so much.

01:15Welcome to the Gonzales Hall.

01:18Siguradong napakaganda nito pag natapos na.

01:22Ay, opo. We're looking forward to it.

01:25Sana in the nearest future.

01:27Yeah, so ano ba yung major na ginagawa?

01:30This is retrofitting.

01:32The building is more than 60 years old.

01:35It's the first overhaul since it was built.

01:37Since it was built.

01:39Tinanggal pan samantala,

01:41halos lahat ng laman ng library para sa renovation.

01:45Maliban lang sa isang obra.

01:47Ito, the mismong oblation, the original.

01:50We cannot take it out.

01:52In-advise po kami na huwag nang galawin.

01:55Iwanan na lang po siya dyan.

01:56Bakit?

01:58Risk assessment, mas safe siya dito

02:00kesa po yung tatanggalin siya dyan, ibababa.

02:03Tsaka po, I think it was already permanently installed there.

02:06So, mas malaking damage ang mangyayari

02:08kung babakbakin, ibababa.

02:10Siya yan.

02:11Siya po yan.

02:16Makalipas ang mahigit tatlong taon,

02:19muling masisilayan ang pinakaunang oblation.

02:26Ito ang orihinal na nilikha ni Guillermo Tolentino noong taong 1935.

02:32Gawa ito sa kongkreto.

02:46Ang mas kilalang oblation o oblek

02:49na nakatayo sa harapan ng Quezon Hall sa UP Diliman

02:53ay gawa sa bronze o tanso

02:55ni Tolentino noong dekade 50.

02:58Yung original oblation nasa library.

03:03Para malaman ang mas malalim na kwento sa likod nito,

03:06kinuusap namin ang dean ng UP College of Fine Arts

03:10na si Toyn Imau.

03:12It was originally nasa Manila ito no, before the war.

03:16Then the war happened, it was damaged,

03:19one of the arms was blown away.

03:22Tapos nun, nung nagkaroon na ng purchase ng land dito sa Diliman

03:26for the 490-hectare campus ng UP,

03:31trinansfer ito.

03:33Yung transfer period niya was from 1947 to 49.

03:38Istatwa man sa paningin ng karamihan.

03:41Pero gaya ng tao, marami rin itong pinagdaanan

03:45bago makaligtas.

03:46Alam mo naman natin na heavily bombarded ang Manila during that time

03:50and it will take some time for UP in Manila that time

03:54to recover and to be restored.

03:57Then, nagkaroon ng parang isang parada

04:00na yung pagkatransfer from UP Manila

04:02which was heavily devastated during the war

04:05at dinala dito sa campus na ginagawa ngayon ng UP.

04:09Much of the buildings were still unfinished.

04:12So may parada pa nung hinatid.

04:14Big deal.

04:16It was a big deal.

04:18I think it was also the time na parang sinasabi nga natin

04:21na parang rebirth.

04:23It was the second life of the oblation.

04:25It was the second life of the university.

04:26And I think the symbolic transfer of that oblation

04:31from Manila to Diliman

04:36was yung pinaka sinasabi natin

04:39parang christening ng lugar.

04:41It was the sort of blessing,

04:43parang ugali ng mga Pilipino

04:45na nagdadala ng something into a new house.

04:47This, the oblation, has somehow functioned like that.

04:52Sa haba ng pinagdaanan ng oblation,

04:53ninanatili rin itong matatag na simbolo ng pagiging malaya,

05:00tulad ng lugar kung saan ito nakatayo.

05:09Hindi tulad sa maraming kolehyo,

05:11kahit sino malayang makapamasyal dito,

05:14tagayupi ma nung hindi.

05:16Maraming salamat sa pagtutok sa eyewitness mga kapuso.

05:19Ano masasabi nyo sa dokumentaryong ito?
