Option 1

 * Article title
 * Women's rights in Philippines


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has good structure. There are headings and subheadings that divide common themes in the article. Coverage for each subheading is quite limited and it only covers very few relevant themes to women's rights in the Philippines. For example, it is missing information on women in STEM and the experiences/challenges of entering/being in the field. Most of the links attached in the article are of individuals. The article could include more points on the actual history and current state of women's rights in the Philippines (in addition to the individual experiences of notable women in history).

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Science and technology in the Philippines


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does a good job in laying out the history and timeline of science and technology in the Philippines. One missing component that could be added is Computer Science. It's an emerging field so the sources are quite limited but it is an important topic that could be mentioned as a start to documenting a developing industry.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Music of the Philippines


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article had an interesting structure where it is divided into different "types" of music and their influence (indigenous, hispanic, popular). Each subtopic showed how music within that type evolved overtime. Although this is a B-class article, I think one important component missing is the global presence of Filipinos in the international music scene. The music industry now is so interconnected and this article misses the component of how Filipino artists (even those based outside the Philippines) are emerging.
