Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well in your neck of the woods. I am fine.
Last night I wrote about the booking of flights for my sis and my cousin to go to Manila. It was done and I am glad about it.
An hour ago, I chatted with my close relative in Manila, asking if my sis and my cousin could stay in their house for a few days while working on their visa applications. She said yes and she is glad to see them again. She will guide them and accompany them to the Dutch Embassy. She will show them some places in Manila. My sis and my cousin has a "Bed and Breakfast" arranged now.
It is good that the Filipino relatives are very close to each other and helping one another. Well, we are helping each other in times of need. I am appreciating this kind of family bond. Now I have to tell my relatives in Holland that B&B is arranged.
I have managed to do my notifications for today. I hope I can Mylot more tomorrow than yesterday. Time for me to go to bed again. I am signing off. Goodnight! Thank you.
P.S.
The photo are my bougainvillea plants in my garden in the Philippines.

Thank you very much @DocAndersen. That is the only way I can help them. I want them to visit me here in Germany, too when they are in Holland, through a Schengen visa.

B and B accommodations are a great alternative to hotels. Of course, Filipinos are known for our hospitality so we are expected to open our doors to relatives visiting from other countries.

@thelme55 true that.
Filipino relatives will even feel bad and you decide not to stay with them.

@allen0187 yes, indeed. They would feel bad and wonder why we don't stay with them.

Yes, indeed @allen0187. We are lucky to have this tradition of being hospitable. I have not found it in my German relatives. It´s another world.

Yes, they don't do that much nowadays @JudyEv. I don´t stay with my relatives when my hubby is with me traveling to the Philippines but if I am alone, I do that. I need a relative to accompany with me traveling in my home country because I am scared of traveling alone there.

Yes, I think I have @LindaOHio. Credits to my parents who brought us in this world and taught us how to care for each other especially in times of need.
