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...
Not like living in the
Philippines you can delegate the employees in your home to let them know what
they are responsible when you leave your family behind during your travel.
- I always make sure my family has food to eat and end up
filling the house with food and shop with them to see what food they would
like to eat other than buying food from the outside this way I know my
family are eating well enough while I am away.
- Their driver has a schedule what time he needs to drop
off and pick up from their school this way everything becomes well
organized. If, the schedule has been changed the students will be the one
to inform them ahead of time.
- Give your students allowance in case they need money for their school projects.
- Make sure they have school uniform to wear during the week.
- We have a freelance that comes to the house who does our laundry and iron our clothes during the two times in a week.
It is always best to have the communication with one another so
everyone will be well informed.
Work:
- Delegate someone to take over while you are not around
to do your work and train them if they are not aware how to do it before
you leave gives them a chance not to call you up when you're away on
vacation.
Even if you’re so
excited from your upcoming trip you still have responsibilities your family
will be well taken care of when you are not there.
Living in the States it
is the same way we make sure our family has someone to prepare their breakfast,
drop them off the children from school where they have carpool from friends
where your children are going to school. I have seen this happen with my sister
when she is away from her work and she is required to leave her family behind.
As parents we still make
sure our family is settled and no need to worry when we are not there every
day.
I have friends who bring
their dog to the shelter or have friends baby sit while they are in town this
way they get to enjoy themselves with another family member.
Dogs are just like human
they look for their family when they are gone. I have experience that when my
sister asked, me to baby sit their dog Coco. He wasn't himself he stayed at the
door thinking his owner would come home one day. Just like anyone else they too
have no appetite to eat because they feel homesick without their owner at their
side.
