00:00Boats are still on their way to Batangas. Cargo trucks and private vehicles are also in line to travel to the province.
00:09Live from Batangas, we have first news with JP Soriano. JP.
00:16Igan, Kapuso, our passengers are already arriving here at the passenger terminal in Batangas Port to travel to different provinces.
00:24As we can see, there are people in line to buy a ticket to Calapan, Oriental, Mindoro.
00:29Aside from the fast craft or smaller boats that are not allowed to travel due to the waves caused by the typhoon,
00:37there is a continuous operation and travel of rovers and bigger boats that will travel to different parts of Mindoro, Romblon, Aklan, and Capiz.
00:46That's why from last night until this morning, there are a long line of cargo trucks and other private vehicles that will travel today.
00:53Some of our passengers are hoping that they won't feel the effects of the typhoon during their trip.
01:00The operation of Batangas Port is for 24 hours and for now, there is a continuous travel of rovers and bigger passenger boats.
01:08This is the alternative vehicle that the fast craft will use to go to Puerto Galera.
01:14For example, more than 13,000 passengers left and arrived here at Batangas Port passenger terminal yesterday.
01:22And today, it is expected to reach 20,000 passengers if the storm signal is not placed at Batangas.
01:30Here is the part of the statement of the port manager of Batangas Port.
01:37We will monitor the weather bulletin of Pagasa.
01:41Even if the coastguard is not suspending, we know from our experience that if there is a typhoon signal, there will be no travel to Batangas Port.
01:52You will not be able to cross even if there is a typhoon signal every day, the boat will not leave.
02:01And of course, the passengers are praying that there is no storm signal that will reach Batangas because the moment it happens,
02:08like what the port manager said, there will be no travel.
02:10At this time, it is cloudy but it is not raining and the wind is not strong.
02:15But we are noticing that there is a bit of storm in the coast here in Batangas Port.
02:20That is the latest. Let's go back to you Igor.
02:23Thank you very much JP Soriano.
