The Victor is a colossal statue at the Pasig portion of Bridgetowne in Metro Manila, Philippines.[1]
Robinsons Land announced in 2019 that it would be installing a colossal statue at Bridgetowne, its own township spanning Pasig and Quezon City. The statue which was named The Victor was projected to be the "tallest lighting projection" in the world.[2] The Victor was unveiled in August 2023.[3] [4]
The Victor was designed by Filipino-American artist Jefrë. It is mainly made from marine-grade perforated steel art from China.[2] It stands 55m (180feet) on a 5sp=usNaNsp=us podium. It weighs 299.37t.[5]
It has a translucent surface which can be lit up with various colors at night through projection mapping.[6]
The Victor is a tribute to deceased businessman John Gokongwei.[6] The statue depicts a man with one arm raised as if it is celebrating a victory. Jefrë also dedicates the statue to the "global Filipino".[7]
