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 .

involve in that locked down.
This is when you realize it is not your time to experience
something as horrible as those 50 people have experience that day when a gun
man held 50 people hostage.
You realize how lucky you are and God holds you back not going in
a danger zone.
