Monument to the Youth.

If you asked me casually what this statue is, I will answer with "It's a lady giving an ice-cream to children."

This monument is called "Bantayog para sa kabataan.", which if I were to translate it, it would be "Monument for the Youth." but the official english translation of it is "Monument to the Youth." It's located in Mandaluyong City in Philippines.

This is the only other photo I have that captures it as a whole.

there are three plaques affixed at the base of the monument.

This one describes what the monument is for.
It writes and I'm paraphrasing:
Monument to the Youth.
A recognition that the youths are the hope of our motherland.
For the youths are the inheritors of the future which will help and take part to shape the future that they will inherit."
Senator Neptali A. Gonzales
inagurated on the 10th of June, 1997.
Now as you might notice there's a weird and lone quotation mark at the end of the paragraph. I dunno... There's really something wrong with this paragraph, like there should be a comma somewhere, but yeah, that's the direct translation of it or at least what I could understand.
What I think is the phrase is this "For the youths are the inheritors of the future, they will need to help and take part to shape the future they will inherit."

A plaque describing the Monument as a project. It's in english so I don't need to paraphrase, hell yes.

A quote which I presume they took from the book 'El Filibusterismo' or with the alternative English title "The Reign of Greed". This novel is the second of the two part series compromising of 'Noli Me Tangere' and 'El Filibusterismo' which tells the story of Crisostomo Ibarra and his struggles. These are the works of our national hero Jose Rizal, who stab his enemies with a fountain pen or a quill pen. (I made that last part up.). both novels are mandatory to be taught here in the Philippines, Republic Act No. 1425.
