100 students run naked at universityMembers of a fraternity at the University of the Philippines held their annual ritual of running naked on campus six months early on Wednesday to celebrate the state-run school's centennial anniversary. Hundreds of cheering students lined the main campus avenue, jostling for positions with their digital and cell phone cameras.
The "Oblation Run" — named for the university's iconic symbol of a naked man with outstretched arms that symbolizes his selfless offering of himself to the nation — started in 1977 as a gimmick by the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity to promote the screening of a movie about oppressed plantation workers called "Naked Hero." The film had been banned by the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Since then, the fraternity has used the stunt to make political statements, from raising AIDS awareness to demanding the resignation of the Philippine president, said Armand Padilla, a fraternity alumnus and organizer of the centennial run.
The naked runners, who wore golden masks and wrapped T-shirts around their heads to hide their identities, offered roses to scores of giggling female students who they took their pictures as they jogged about half a mile from the student center to the Oblation statue in front of the university's administration building.

I just HATE this thing, There is NO point at all in getting naked in front of Media and protest/celebrate.
I have seen many protests wherein people get naked and protest. I think they are the most stupid people who just expose themselves for something which will NEVER change by getting them naked.
How many of you agree with me??
