Among the most prominent symbols of Marcos's rule over the Philippines was the 30-metre (98 ft) concrete bust of himself constructed in 1978 by the Philippine Tourism Authority near the peak of Mt. Shontoug in Tuba, Benguet, along the Aspiras-Palispis Highway on the tourist route to Baguio. Controversial as a symbol of self-glorification, its construction was noted for having displaced indigenous Ibaloi from their lands.
