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.

Friendships Begins to Change


As we are staying home we come across friends who you haven’t chat or communicated for a long time and when they start chatting with you they come across giving you not your name but a name they are suppose to give their boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse not really meant for a friend.

I have come across this recently and I have seen people get really lonely when they stay home and they are bored to death but they have spouses in their home but when you come across a friend calling you baby. I start to question them who are you referring to baby you know for sure that is not your name.

As I am talking to my friends I will stop them question them hey I am not your baby and I don’t like being called a baby in the first place. I have a name and I’d rather stick to it.

Sometimes you need to put a stop on your friendship it might lead to something else that you don’t see yourself in that direction.

I’ve notice these past weeks how my friends are reacting how they start to cling to you and wait when you are online.

Sometimes you have friends who act like they are your father or mother asking you why you are still online when in your time you should be sleeping. I know my friends care for me but when you stay home for a month and a half there is really nothing to do but find other things to do in your home there really is no curfew what time you need to sleep.

Sometimes you have friends who tell you did you eat already but I don’t need to be reminded I eat when I feel like it and when you wake up late your meals doesn’t come to you when you’re hungry. I have come to the point I miss my breakfast and lunch go directly to dinner. 

Now I can understand when my friends tell me they only eat one meal a day. Those people who eat one meal a day are on a diet.

To me I am not on a diet it is that I have lost appetite in my meals because I don’t have a cook in the house and now I have been dreaming of my cook being at home due I miss home cooked meals not bought from the outside.
