Installation
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. The Victor would be unveiled in August 2023.
Statue
The Victor was designed by Filipino-American artist Jefrë. It is mainly made from marine-grade perforated steel art from China. It stands 55 meters (180 ft) on a 5 m (16 ft) podium. It weighs 299.37 tonnes (660,000 lb).
It has a translucent surface which can be lit up with various colors at night through projection mapping.
The Victor is a tribute to deceased businessman John Gokongwei. 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".
