"Binhi ng Kalayaan" Statue

Luneta-2007-385-Nc.JPG

"Seeds of Freedom"

"Dinadakila natin ang nagtanim na ginintuang binhi ng kagitingan at pagmamahal sa ating Inang Bayan na siyang
naging at magiging tanglaw at inspirasyon sa lahat ng mga Bayaning Pilipino" - President Fidel V. Ramos.

This statue was innaugurated on June 12, 1998 at the Rizal Park/Luneta in time for the Philippine Centennial
Independence Day Celebrations and is made by famed Philippine sculptor Eduardo Castrillo http://www.eduardocastrillo.com/ .

In its base is a time capsule containing the papers of the day, regular stuff familiar to us today -
to be opened again, perhaps, on the 200th Anniversary as our legacy to future generations?
