The 132-foot (40 m) monument, said to be the tallest of its kind in the Philippines, was built in 2015 within the Pueblo de Panay mixed-use development.
The construction of the statue was done by a seven-man core team led by a Pilipino sculptor John A. Alaban from Roxas City and the foreman Jose Clarito.
Every level of 3 meters high (equivalent to one standard building floor height) is separated by a horizontal slab.
Inside the hollow statue is an access steel stair up to the 8th level.
Since one of the concepts of the construction is the so-called “built to last”, some forms or aesthetics have been deliberately compromised to give way to the stability of the structural design for the safety of the general public.
