The mural on the second floor of the University of the Philippines - Diliman's Palma Hall features scenes from the country's long history of fighting for freedom—against the Spanish, Japanese, and Americans, then against the Martial Law regime of Ferdinand Marcos. The figure in the middle is the sculpture called the Oblation, which has become the state university's symbol.

So, that is an impressive mural. Only it is a pity that it is not in a public space.
I like murals like this. It makes history come alive!
A stunning mural and a fine memorial to those who have fought for freedom in your country. Sometimes, we forget those who gave so much!
Really well done. What a challenge to squeeze in so much history into that space.
It has a sweeping feel. Do you know when it was painted?
It's a stirring, inspiring mural! Very dramatic! Boy, the Philippines have been through so much!
It's a wonderful way to keep history alive!
Impressive; I like murals that bring history to life ... and the red banner ties the scenes together.
Your country has been through tough times.
History all molded into one setting, what a beautiful conception and fine details.

This is very dramatic---almost operatic. But then the broad sweep of history is, isn't it. Wonderful to see and think about. Thanks, Hilda, for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
