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.

Haw Flakes


Being a kid we use our imagination during kindergarten and grade school. We played outside with our neighbors who had kids the same age.

I remember we used card board to make a house in our drive way. We used our dolls and toys to decorate our home.

The food we use was whatever we had in our food pantry by asking permission from our own parents.

I remember we pretended we went to attend church someone had dress up being the priest and a nun. 

My parents had some haw flakes and we pretended that was the bread to serve during our pretend mass.


The color may not be white being small and round made us resemble what the priest had fed us during our mass during our imagination we didn't care what it was made.

When I was young my parents always ate lunch at China Town in San Francisco after our meal we would walk around to shop around to bring food back home. I love eating the Haw Flakes rolled up and eating each circle shape giving you a tart taste in your mouth.

It was the common candy sold in China Town and being a kid you eat any candy that allow your own parents let you eat when you can.

I grew up with both parents being very strict. I grew up being a picky kid.
