2. Summary of Our Project
Baguio City, also known as the City of Pines, is well-known for celebrating the Flower Festival,'Panagbenga' annually, wherein the citizens enjoy various activities for the entire month of February extending up to the first week of March. 'Panagbenga' showcases the intricate culture of the city. The flowers are the main attraction, although we want to go deeper and open the elegance and artistry of what the Flower festival has to offer. The music is a game changer and such beauty makes the festival bloom even better. The culture expresses the grace of how it is celebrated. May it be modern or traditional the Flower Festival truly carries a complex yet a exquisite structure. One of our team’s objectives is to maximize our skills in order to show our festival. With the emerging technology in our modern day-era, students can engage and unite themselves to create a webpage visible to the mass. Unmasking the festival is our main objective because it is the product of all the labor of the initiator and the local government bearing the foundation of the festival. As the team explores the city, we are open to information, maximizing our time in order to create a product entry unveiling the true grace and beauty of the Flower Festival, called 'Panagbenga'.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
One of the difficulties the team had encountered is the lack of time,particularly in gathering information and creating the webpage. Time has been very limited for us because of our schedule of activities. Due to abundant school work, time was crucial and was really challenging to compress our energy for different events and school related requirements. As a solution to this problem, we worked overtime; we spent all our extra time working on this activity in hopes of finishing it before due is up. Another problem we observed was the lack of cooperation and effort from some of the members of our team. To try to balance the work, we decided to distribute the obligations to each member of our body, which encouraged everyone to do their duties. Internet connection was fair although it is badly needed and because the school doesn't guarantee a really fast connection, we need to be patient of what we had. In a number of 40 students using the internet , we had to give way to each other in order to use it efficiently. Since the team's population is too big, we tend to misunderstand each other resulting in an unorganized method of creating our entry.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
It has been a privilege to represent Saint Louis University Laboratory High School because out of all the students, we have been chosen although it's not just about recognition but about team spirit. The forbidding chain of events and the limited pace of time has made us challenge ourselves to be self-directed and socially involved students.

Through the course and the making of our Cyberfair entry, our potential as a whole was defined. Our ability to learn from our faults and simply to move to make them better. It has taught us that we are all important and each one's participation is a valuable factor that affects our team. The use of technology has proven to become an important part of our research that starts from the build up of information we used, its convenience has helped us know more about our project and it also helped us communicate with each other faster.
