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...
I was doing my normal
general cleaning in my room when I decided to clear out my clutter in my room.
I just recently came home from my vacation to visit my family.
I had opened my attic
that is located in my dressing room on the upper closet door. I saw these bugs
that looked unfamiliar to me. It ate the boxes in my attic and that is when I realized
what kind of insect it was. I had called, up some employees to help me out.
They had sprayed vinegar to let it all die out from the items that was already
destroyed.
I had to transfer to
another bedroom next to me for two months.
We had termite’s
inspection in my room and found out the main bedroom also was infected termites. There was a termite house inside the wood located on top of my windows. They had sprayed the termites.
The termite inspector showed me how they can detect whether there are termites or not. He said, if the wood is swollen there are termites inside. As he was inspecting I was able to find out he was talking about as he had inspected the entire house.
My mother in-law didn't
understand the concept where it came from she had blame me for it. She said, it
was my fault to begin with and I told her termites don't eat food. They only
eat wood and paper. I couldn't win from her so I just walked away and explain
to the person spraying to inform her I was saying was true.
My mother in-law no
longer bothered me about it when she had found out it wasn't only my room that
was affected. The termites started from the first floor from the dirt underneath
the home. It just passed by a pole that was connected to my room.
The room I was staying
temporary also had the same problem.
When your homes are old
and made of wood termites lives inside. It takes one month in order to have the
room repaired. I had to bear staying in a room I wasn't comfortable inside.
We had to stay outside
as they had sprayed in the house for one hour.
We had found out we had
to wait one month to have the spray kill all the termites in the house.
My mother in-law was
upset and wanted her home to be repaired as soon as possible. It was no choice
to just wait for one month or else it would have been just useless paying so
much for service and destroy the wood.
She decided to wait and
hold on in working in the rooms. We just stated planning what changes would be
made in our room in the meantime we had to wait for the construction to be
done.
I was told to transfer all my belongings in a plastic tumbler just in case the termites decide to come back again. I just hope it doesn't happen to me again.
