MANILA, Philippines – This year’s Oblation Run took a theme that resonates with most of us.
Around 40 members of the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity ran naked around the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman, Quezon City, on Friday, December 13, to push for improved government policies on disaster risk reduction and management.
The Oblation Run is a yearly tradition at UP Diliman participated in by members of the APO fraternity wearing nothing but paper bags on their faces.
Also called the “Ritual Dance of the Brave,” the Oblation Run serves as a unique form of protest for the brotherhood. Following the series of calamities that struck the country, this year’s run pushed for improved policies on disaster risk reduction and management.
More than 6.000 people have died and more than a thousand remain missing after Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) struck the Visayas region on November 8. (READ: One month after Yolanda: What we need to do and Greeneration Summit: Preparing locally for climate change)
