The first ever UP Sunflower Run was held last March 11, 2023 at the Academic Oval of Diliman campus of the University of the Philippines as part of the Women’s Month celebration.As a parting gift for graduating students, sunflowers symbolize devotion and loyalty as denizens hurdled every academic requirement through sleepless and restless days and nights.
In the Philippines, April 30, 1937 marked the first time Filipino women exercised suffrage when an overwhelming majority of 447,725 Filipino women voted in a plebiscite in favor of their right to vote in political elections under Commonwealth Act No. 34. “To be a woman today is both a burden and an honor—a burden because of the injustices that women from all sectors of society from every corner of the world still face today, but an honor, because of the ability of these women to continuously come together with our allies and fight for our rights and the rights of our children,” says Atty. Dot Gancayco of Delta Lambda Sigma Sorority.
Officially recognized by the United Nations in 1977, International Women’s Day is celebrated every March 8 as a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. As the “Oblation” literally means “to sacrifice oneself”, UPLift creator Ferdinand Cacnio said that the sculpture is about “enlightenment and uplifting oneself” and about “aspiring for honor and excellence.”
