Scholar of the Nation

The spatial purview of the Iskolar ng Bayan includes both the inside and the outside spaces of the classroom. The kind of education that molds the mind of each UP student is grounded by intersections between theoretical knowledge and its practical application to the understanding and improvement of the social conditions of Filipinos. The Iskolar ng Bayan acquires knowledge through the combination of reading books, doing research and analysis, and acquiring real-world experiences when engaging with their surroundings and the different sectors of Philippine society.

In this section, the exhibit gives recognition to the scholars of the nation who fearlessly used their extensive skills, ability, and talents in order to improve and ameliorate the conditions of our society, and in some exceptional instances, even sacrificed their lives for the nation.
