It may look like the simplest. But UP's Lantern Parade would have lacked the appropriate symbolism without that giant fecal matter. For indeed most of the things that this public institution stood for has turned into feces. The UP budget cuts, the endless bickering of its famed graduates in government, the internal conflicts of the current student politics, the deterioration of its academic excellence and the growing apathy of students towards the greater plights of the masses that sent them to school -- what other symbol can best represent these than that bigger-than-life feces.

And yes, APO's Oblation Run, which originally was a form of protest against the Marcos dictatorship, is no match to the all-encompassing revulsion symbolized by that golden stool.
