I just heard from the news that the Australian-born actor Heath Ledger, who can be remembered on his movie “Brokeback Mountain” shown in 2006 whereby he received an Oscar Nomination.

I remember that it was only two weeks ago when I watched the film “10 Things I Hate About You” which I have seen in junior high school and wherein he played as the leading man of Julia Stiles.
According to reports, Heath Ledger was found dead and naked with face down on the floor with sleeping pills around his body.

University of the Philippines Celebrates 100th Anniversary

Looked up to as one of the best schools in the country, the University of the Philippines which was established in 1908, celebrated its centennial anniversary today. Different activities were held to highlight the festivity.
Many of us know that the U.P. Oblation which is located at the Diliman Main Library is a popular iconic symbol of this prestigious university. It is represented by a man whose face is tilted toward the heavens and with arms wide open, to symbolize the selfless offering of one’s self to his country.
It was only today that I learned that the Oblation was made by Professor Guillermo Tolentino with the aid of Anastacio Caedo. During the making of this remarkable sculpture, many people thought that the model of the statue was Fernando Poe, Sr. but a book contradicted this claim stating that it was actually Anastacio Caedo who served as the model of the Oblation.
