Carmina's review on Summit Hotel in Tacloban

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference.  As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...

How Many Moms Do You Have?


There may be more than one mom in your life other than the one who carried you in their tummy. I have so many moms in my life one who gives me advices when I need it. The mom who cares for you, support you in your decision in life, the one who financially helps you, a mom who cares for you when you need a help from them, a mom you just meet when you want to eat out and bond together.

No matter what position your mom is at in your life. This is how many mom I have in my life:
  1. Mom who gave birth to me
  2. Step Mom
  3. Mother in-law
  4. Adopted Mom
Why do I say adopted mom because I have friends who are my mom's friend who would love to adopt me for reason they feel I can become their daughter figure in their life. Sometimes other mom's want the same treatment they see from someone else. Or their daughter's lives far away from their home. 

My mom use to complain to their friends how when we travel I would play tricks to my mom. I would take stolen pictures and videos of her unannounced. Her friend began to say, I wish I had that in my life a daughter who took my pictures and videos of me.

My mom told them I am her personal assistance the one who always at her side. Her friend's began to tell her you are lucky you have a daughter next to your side and travel with who cares for you.

There was one time my mom complained to me that I do not like her pictures that are post in her Facebook. She was telling me she will unfriend me. I said, go ahead and do that I will no longer be the one to post your pictures for you. She had realized later I am doing that for her. I am her secretary doing things she doesn't know how to do on her own.

I have a step mom and I only see her when I visit California. I we keep in touch through emails.

I am not really close to my Mother in-law that you call your friend. She is the opposite of me and she is very perfectionist and something is hard to deal with. She is very sensitive and old fashion worse than me.

I have so many adopted moms and so many to count off my fingers. I am grateful these ladies would like to adopt me someday they said I don't look my age. They think as if I am just an teenager who hasn't grown up like them.

I am thankful I have all of them in my life.
