Pag-asa ng Bayan

The contents of the Bulwagan ng Dangal’s inaugural show, Pag-Asa ng Bayan, were from the University Art Collection, presenting the university’s history through art objects depicting key figures and events, such as bust sculptures of national heroes from the University Library Collection, portraits of past UP presidents, and paintings from the College of Law Collection, as well as pieces of public art, specifically the Oblation at Quezon Hall. The title is taken from a line in the university’s hymn, “speaks of the possibility of change that animates a forever expectant nation and people.”
