A brainchild of Dr. Priscilla Y. Arguelles, herself a veteran educator and now President and Chair of the NTC Board of Trustees, the monument was skillfully executed by a young sculptor, Paul Ouiafio and now it proudly stands on the Triangular Island bounded by Legarda and J. Nepomuceno streets adding beauty and splendour to the City and helping restore the old glory that once was Manila.
