Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it I have experience in curating and designing museum exhibits and providing expert advice on historical representation in war memorials in the Philippines.

Message The media we consume shapes our worldview and opinions, especially on issues like war. Recognizing that media is inherently biased, it is essential to critically assess how it portrays war̶whether justifying or questioning it. This critical engagement helps us form a more informed perspective in our quest for a more peaceful future.
