A tribute to the Filipino youth

Towering 64 feet or about six storeys high, posted along the entrance of DoubleDragon Meridian Park, stands a refreshing new installation of public art depicting a figure of a young person named 'Bayani.' Not far down the road is another installation of public art waving at passersby along EDSA — 'Pag-Asa.'

Dedicated to the Filipino youth, the sculptures symbolize the future of the country as the young median age of the Philippine population is one of the key driving forces that fuel economic growth. It also symbolizes the aspiration of making the Philippines into one of the largest economies in the world within the next few decades.
