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.

No matter if you are a simple person but you use an
expensive product in what you wear or what you drive or bike people will notice
you more because it represents how much money you are worth and you never know
one day you will be kidnap from it.
People living any where try to dress to impress or drive or ride to impress by bragging what they have and what money they can buy to show the world what they can afford by the way you look, the car you drive or the bike you have upgraded.
No matter who you are you are driving people for attention and also drives people to stare, look and see who you and what kind of person you are who like to show what you can afford.
You will come across people who will be envious of you or you will trigger those who want to steal from you.
In every life we come across this type of people who flaunt what they have by telling people out of the blue or they take a picture and post it in social media or use it in public area no matter how you do it you have eyes looking at you and you don’t know what they are talking about you because for who you are they see something expensive from you.
Something they cannot afford but when they see an item in front of them they stare, look and see who knows want to get close and touch it.
I remember I had an iphone 1 that just came out year 2007. I was shopping with my mom in Tutuban Divisoria Shopping Mall in the Philippines during that time I never brought out my phone reasons I heard people like to steal it from you.
During that time I was expecting an important call and I was inside a store being an open area of the shopping mall not having any doors in each clothing store I stood while my mom was looking at some garments.
My mom had notice two ladies passing by her looking at her phone that she was holding next I know these people had passed me and not knowing they have already stole my phone from my messenger bag.
I only found out when I decided to get my phone from my bag to see if I had received any missed calls when I had checked my bag was opened and my phone was never to be seen.
I had freaked out and informed my mom about it we went to the security guard of the mall and they brought me along with my mom where they have the security camera room.
I found out later the security guards and people who stole my phone work together or the term they use us conspiracy.
For the first time having an expensive phone I had
downgraded myself to an Nokia N9 from the fear and phobia I had made me realize
something about living in the Philippines.
