That,and 3 other statues, actually used to stand at the foot of the Jones bridge during the American Colonial period. I believe on of them was destroyed during the 1945 Battle of Manila and the two were transferred to Ermita where they sit today outside the Court of Appeals building (old UP Campus)
Ha ha ha! It's going to cost me an arm and a leg getting prizes for all of you, hehe!
Maybe a night out in Manila will do.
Interesting data there. Would you happen to know who made them, and who commissioned these statues? wow! Two others infront of the Court of Appeals?! I used to frequent that place. Too bad I wasn't blogging then.
Hindi ba nasa UP Lagoon iyan? Isa sa mga statues doon?
