Abstract

The paper focuses on the proposal of an interactive museum in the Pacific War Memorial Museum (PWMM) in Corregidor Island towards emphasizing the island’s history. With this paper, there are three main objectives: to identify the heritage significance of Corregidor; to assess the current situation of Corregidor Island’s PWMM; and to determine the perspective of the stakeholders. Using a qualitative approach and a case study as a research design, the proponents conducted an in-depth interview to fully understand the perspective of the stakeholders. As a result, the proponents initiated the development of the current museum into an interactive museum in accordance to the heritage significance and perspective of stakeholders of the Corregidor Island’s PWMM.
