1. Description of Our Community
The surrounding communities of these sites certainly bear the marks of their own pasts. With the Clarke Museum in Pampanga, there is a strong American cultural influence to be felt, an indication of the past use of the place as an airbase. To Kawit, Cavite, the Aguinaldo Mansion community is characterized by a persistent nationalist sentiment, strongly rooted in the revolutionary past. To Malolos, Bulacan, the Barasoain Church and the Museum of Philippine Political History (Casa Real Shrine) are both situated within a community that takes great pride in its role within the First Philippine Republic, actively working towards the preservation of its heritage. Intramuros in Manila is a living mix of history and urban living, while the varied assemblages of Luneta Park are a manifestation of the nation's shared identity, a community center where people from various backgrounds converge.

As a student participating in this project, my primary computer access comes from my personal laptop, as mandated by our school's 'one-to-one' device policy. This allows for seamless integration of technology into our learning process. For this tour, I utilized my laptop for research, note-taking, and documentation of our experiences. Internet access, crucial for accessing online resources and historical databases, was primarily through my home Wi-Fi and mobile data. Having a personal device facilitated independent learning and collaborative work during the tour, enhancing our ability to engage with the historical sites and information.
