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 .

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.

The life they live in particular once you touch or move something they feel you’ve enter inside their comfort zone. The family member starts to feel uneasy not telling you directly to your face but to make a story out of it to someone else yet at your presence your there to hear it. Carmina and Mom Violy have been traveling together since May 4, 2022. Spending quite a time together and sleeping in same bedroom just like anyone we want our own space. During our stay at my sister’s home while family members were out of town. Carmina had transferred to another bedroom across from Mom Violy. Two weeks later Carmina moved back to the same room where we didn’t clash or hit each other nerves because we had time to ourselves. Even if Carmina was driving Mom Violy to her doctor’s appointment her stories were repe...
