The entrance to Fort Siloso was wonderful. There was a cannon placed in front on the entrance. Then, my tour guide told me how Fort Siloso got its name. In Philippines, Siloso means a jealous person. The name for Fort Siloso is actually Fort Siliso.The Americans at that time did not know how to pronounce Siliso so they pronounced it as siloso and that is how Fort Siloso got its name.
We went in the Prisoners Of Wars chamber. It was quite exciting inside. The chamber showed us past prisoners and my guide elaborated about the prisoners.
Zhi Min also took an interview with me. She asked me about Elizabeth Choy and her past life. My most favourite place was the place where there was sculptures of the Japanese army and the British army. I liked the part where the Japanese leader and the British leader was having a meeting. They looked exactly the same as the one i looked at my History textbook.
My job at Fort Siloso was to look for suitable places to take picture or have an interview. I must also memorise the script and my answers for the interview. Wilson was our videographer and he took quite good videos. Zhi Min was our photographer and she also took nice and great pictures.
The difficulties we faced during our trip was when we could not find a nice background for our interview. However, we overcame it when we saw a river near Fort Siloso and we immediately and the the the weather was also good for our interview. Finally, we took some pictures and went back to school. I really enjoyed it and would really like to go to Fort Siloso again if I has a chance.
