To commemorate the 50 years of ASEAN- Japan friendship, SSEAYP International Philippines (SIP) collaborated with globally renowned sculptor PPY94 Ovvian Castrillo- Hill in an art auction of the latter’s two SSEAYP-themed sculptures: Inseparable, and Eleven Waves. 

Inseparable is an abstract rendition of the beautiful relationship that we have formed with each other in the program, while Eleven Waves represent the eleven countries that participate in SSEAYP. Likewise, the sculptor crafted fifty limited-edition pieces of brass artwork Vessel of Good which is a meaningful representation of the ship Nippon Maru that carried all of the SSEAYP participants out of goodwill all throughout the years of the program. Thank you Ovvian and to all alumni who supported this fundraiser!
