Tab bar missing when a segue is added

So I have 3 VCs embedded in a navigation controller and a tab bar controller. However, whenever I add a segue from the 3rd VC to the 1st VC, the navigation bar and tab bar disappear from the storyboard. So I tried adding a segue programmatically on the 3rd VC swift file as such:

let collectionVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "collectionVC") as! CollectionViewController

    let navigationVC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: collectionVC)
    self.present(navigationVC, animated: true, completion: nil)

Unfortunately, with the added code above, the tab bar is still missing but the navigation bar is there. I hope someone could help me.

If I understood correctly your problem, you are using a UINavigationController and you are trying to go from VC3 to VC1, which means that you have a navigation stack like this:

VC1 -> VC2 -> VC3

If you want to go back to VC1, you can use:

navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)‌​

You will still have your tab bar, your navigation bar and - most important - you won't create another instance of VC1. This is the correct - and easiest - way of dealing with a UINavigationController.
