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...

Bataan’s Best Tinapang Kapak or Banak and Amanda's Dried Herring Tuyo in Corn Oil



Mom Violy wasn't content with her smoked fish. There was something else she wanted to find. Mom Vioy asked her daughter to look if she can find Tinapa Kapak Fish. Mom Violy kept telling Carmina it is not dried. 

Carmina couldn't seem to understand what the fish was that mom Violy was looking for but didn't stop her to look for it.

Carmina had searched online to see what is the Tinapa Kapak was and how does it even look like to figure it out.

Mom Violy keeps telling Carmina I always purchase at the Public Market in Balanga, Bataan when we're able to go out.

Yet, Carmina still couldn't understand what Mom Violy was referring too. Carmina had shared from other sellers who have sold the fish she had mentioned.

Mom Violy kept saying that is not the one or maybe no one sells it online.

Next day came around and Carmina went ahead to dig harder to see if she can find what Tinapa Kapak was somewhere else.

Guess what?

Carmina was able to find it from a clear mind the person who sold the Tinapang Kapak or Banak is from Foodiva Online Lazada Philippines.

Reason why Carmina had a hard time finding it for one thing the name Mom Violy was incorrect. Mom Violy had to write it down for her to remember when the time comes in the future.

Foodiva Online Lazada Philippines has noted the Bataan’s Best Tinapang Kapak or Banak sold for 500 grams for PHP 250.00 ($3.00) not including shipping and handling.



The best part the Tinapang Kapak or Banak is vacuum sealed being delivered to your location.

Mom Violy wanted to purchase other items sold from Foodiva Carmina had shared it to her in Facebook Messenger to do her own shopping.

Mom Violy wanted to try the Amanda's Tuyo in corn oil that comes in a bottle sold for PHP 125.00 ($2.50).





Everything had arrived being wrapped up in newspaper to prevent smelling during the process being delivered to your location.

The best part nothing was broken during the process arriving at your location. It was well wrapped with packaging tape.

Mom Violy is happy that in the meantime she can't go out Carmina can still purchase the fish she loves to eat.
