The Oblation Run (AKA the Ritual Dance of the Brave) is an annual event at University of the Philippines chapters of Alpha Phi Omega. The runners are male, and traditionally run completely naked. The event was first organized in 1977 to promote Hubad na Bayani (Tagalog for Naked Hero), a film. It draws its name from the Oblation, a statue of a nude man located in every University of the Philippines (UP) campus, which symbolizes "a selfless offering of one’s self to the country."
