00:00As a preventative measure, the Philippine Ports Authority, or PPA, has ordered the suspension

00:05of all sea travel, while severe tropical storm Christine continues on its track.

00:11Meanwhile, several dams in Luzon are implementing a controlled release of water amid the continuous

00:17downpour in many areas of the country.

00:20Claizel Pardilia has the details.

00:25The Philippine Ports Authority has suspended travel at all ports across the country following

00:30continuous rain, strong waves, and the ongoing threat of Typhoon Christine.

00:34Currently, there are 7,313 stranded passengers, mostly in Bicol and Samar.

00:41We have 14 ports which are currently experiencing the effects of the storm.

00:45There are no trips as of this date.

00:49We request that the passengers monitor the situation and not proceed to the terminals.

00:55The PPA and DSWD-assured hot meals and food packs have been distributed to affected passengers.

01:03The PPA is investigating who is liable for the two ships that ran aground at the port

01:09of Batangas.

01:10The captain of one of the ships was missing in action at the time of the incident, in

01:16violation of PPA regulations.

01:19Meanwhile, the National Power Corporation has assured that water releases from large

01:24dams in Luzon remain under control.

01:28San Roque Dam in Pangasinan is releasing water at a rate of 52 cubic meters per second.

01:34The spilling gate of Ambuklao and Binga Dam in Benguet province is open at half a meter.

01:40We anticipate that a large amount of rain will hit the dam and not just collect our dams.

01:49So the releases that are made here are very controlled and will definitely not cause floods.

01:55Residents are still advised to exercise caution.
