A Piece of History: The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ Statues across all Eternal Gardens parks

How does a man’s vision of faith become a landmark for a nation?

In search of a landmark that would define his memorial park, Eternal Group’s founder, Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua, envisioned a centerpiece that would not merely mark an end—but proclaim the promise of a glorious new beginning. To him, art—like faith—was something that should belong to the people.

The first towering statue at Eternal Gardens - Baesa was designed by National Artist for Sculpture Dean Napoleon V. Abueva, who captured Christ in a powerful pose—gazing upward, arms outstretched toward the heavens.

The statue stands 33 feet high, representing the number of years Jesus Christ lived on Earth. It is mounted on a 12-foot pedestal, symbolizing the 12 apostles. But beyond its symbolic dimensions, the Transfiguration monument embodies the essence of Eternal Gardens: a deep faith in God and in life everlasting, and man’s unceasing pursuit of divine light and understanding.

Interestingly, when Abueva presented his initial model of the sculpture, an argument arose as to whether the image represented the Resurrection or the Ascension. It was only resolved after Ambassador Cabangon Chua consulted his close friend, then Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin, who affirmed that the image most powerfully depicted the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ.

At the heart of all 12 Eternal Gardens parks—and soon in its newest park in Brgy. Pacol, Naga City—rises the towering statue of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ. More than a landmark, it stands as a symbol of the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence.

Every August 6, Eternal Gardens joins the universal Church in commemorating the Feast of the Transfiguration. For the company, the date also holds an even deeper significance: it serves as a spiritual prelude to its founding anniversary on August 11. This convergence of faith and history is honored each year through special Masses held within Eternal Gardens parks.

This meaningful observance continues under the leadership of Chairman D. Edgard A Cabangon, who faithfully upholds the legacy of his father, our beloved founder, Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua.

A path paved with the purest love.

Ms. Dannica Nicole Cabangon, President of Eternal Paw Crematory, shares the beautiful and moving inspiration that led them to establish Eternal Paw Crematory—a sanctuary built on the purest form of love, ensuring every pet’s final journey is filled with dignity and grace. Because your pet deserves eternal love.

Read her full message here:

“Our family—starting from Grandpa, to Dad, and down to our generation—are pet lovers ourselves. As someone who has personally experienced the pain of losing a furry companion, I can say that the story of Eternal Paw Crematory began from a deep love for our own pet, Cheeky—a beloved golden retriever we had for 12 years, lovingly gifted to me and my sister by our dad, D. Edgard. I was in my teenage years then, too young to fully grasp what was happening. All I knew was that Cheeky was gone. A few days later, an aftercare service provider came back with Cheeky’s ashes in a small urn, along with keepsakes that helped us hold on to her memory. Even as a child, that gesture meant the world to me.

That experience stayed with me through the years. It opened my eyes to a simple but profound truth: our pets, who love us unconditionally, deserve a peaceful, dignified, and loving farewell.

When I joined the Eternal Group, pet cremation wasn’t yet part of our services. But with the vision of offering truly complete and compassionate memorial care, one that embraces both people and the pets they cherish, we brought this idea to life. Eternal Paw is that vision realized.”
