Laya at Diwa

This brass artwork carries the University’s seals of
TRUTH, EXCELLENCE and SERVICE. There are five basic
elements in the artwork together with the symbolic figures
and meanings. The unchained female figure, holding a
book, represents the empowered Filipino woman. She is
today’s contemporary woman – a mother, a nurturer, an
educator, and a servant to humanity. She is also beauty
personified.
The male figure with a pen and a torch represents
the dignified Filipino father. He is being shown as strong,
prominent, dignified and excellent in his field of endeavor
besides being portrayed as a true searcher of truth. The
flame of the torch carries the letters CvSU for Cavite State
University – serving is the guiding light of his noble quest.
The interlocked arms of the man and woman signifies unity
of purpose and direction.
The child figure with a dove, in a dynamic pose
standing on top of the pillar, represents the youth in
general and recognized as the proverbial hope of the future
that needs molding and nurturing. The dove being reached
out by the child symbolizes peace and freedom.
The central pillar symbolizes growth and development. It represents humanity’s common
aspiration for an improved quality of life – a kind of development with equity and harmony. It is
ever growing, ever aiming higher but always deeply rooted in history.
The entire artwork is mounted on CvSU logo-shaped base to serve as a fitting reminder
to the entire CvSU community of its great responsibility to remain faithful to the University’s
vision and mission and to hold sacred its tenets of TRUTH, EXCELLENCE, and SERVICE.
“Laya at Diwa” is a creation of the Castrillos’ of Imus, Cavite led and supervised by
Jonnel P. Castrillo. It was inaugurated on December 15, 2006 by Hon. Senator Edgardo J.
Angara on the occasion of the University’s centenary celebration.
