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. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...

Giving Out Christmas Gifts in November

 


In our life we think ahead by giving out our Christmas gifts earlier than expect we don’t know how we will see each other again.

Our Christmas gift may not be wrapped up in a Christmas wrapper what the counts is that the person was thinking of you when they have purchase the fruits for you.

Among my mom’s friends we think ahead and we know what they want even if we’re not able to see in person we talk on the phone to tell each other what they have given in exchange gifts.

We don’t expect the Christmas gifts to be given but we know each year the time comes we know ahead what to buy for them in our thoughtfulness we find ways to make our gifts special.

You may think it is too early to give Christmas gifts in November our time is limited and when you see someone it is best to give it away for them to eat before it expires or to give clothing to wear no matter what the reason is that you have thought for them being a part of your life.

I have also distributed my Christmas gifts to the employees and their family members just in case they plan to send their Christmas gifts to their family they can add on what I have given.

We won't be having a Christmas party due to coronavirus and the law prohibits us to have a big party in the Philippines.

For the youngster in the employees family member I just gave them chocolates that came in a box from the United States by shopping ahead in online shopping this way they their children get to taste chocolate coming from another country than local ones made in the Philippines.

I believe Christmas only comes once a year and giving a gift to each person is better than not receiving there was just a time in my life I had experience attending a Christmas party from my employer. I saw how they only gave Christmas gifts to their employee and the employee brought their whole family to attend the party.

I felt strange why the whole family can’t receive a Christmas gift.

Seeing a family member see other people opening gifts in front of them I left they we're feeling out of place.

Living in the Philippines I broke it and changed their tradition I gave every single person a gift from the spouse and their children. 

I came to the point I was called Ms. Santa Clause every year everyone receives a Christmas gift and if the single had a girlfriend or boyfriend they too had a gift coming from me.

Some employees also brought along their parents to the Christmas party and they also had received a gift from me the great feeling you get in return is gratitude what you do for them. 

Those who have nothing to give to you are alright because they can care for you in another way being supportive in the work you do.
