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 .

She had given Becky her jeans that no longer fit her. Becky also lost weight but has no funds to buy new set of clothing.  Everyone knows clothes coming from the US the fabric is different from local made in the Philippines. Carmina had three pairs of shorts that was the same color beige US size 8. Carmina gave it to Mary Ann recently when I had my Brazilian Treatment.  Mary Ann calls it my uniform. 🤣 Mary Ann said she had washed it and was able to try it on and it had fit her.
