00:00Thousands of passengers are expected to come and go to Batangas Port this weekend.
00:06J.P. Soriano is on the spot.
00:10J.P.?
00:12Raffy, there are still passengers coming to Batangas Port to go to different provinces in Mindoro,
00:21and other parts of Visayas and Romblon.
00:24Raffy, we have seen the most number of passengers coming to Puerto Galera,
00:29which is one of the most famous beach resorts in the Philippines.
00:33FastCraft support is already fully operational because the weather is nice.
00:38Some passengers coming to Puerto Galera had an early visit
00:42or came earlier than their loved ones.
00:46Some passengers were surprised by the fewer number of passengers in Batangas Port now.
00:52According to Batangas Port, until 7 in the morning,
00:56almost 3,000 passengers arrived at the passenger terminal.
01:01And today, they are expecting to add another 6,000 passengers.
01:07According to what we have heard from the shipping companies,
01:11the risk of sales or sale of tickets is lower compared to last year, 2023.
01:18It is likely that there is an effect of the recent typhoons.
01:21The decision of the passengers is not to continue their journey.
01:24Even so, Raffy, the departure of Roro and FastCraft is still ongoing.
01:28According to the scheduled departure, even if it is not full, it will still follow the schedule of sailing.
01:34And Raffy, until now, there is still no announcement
01:39on what will be done to the damaged fuel tanker here in Batangas Port
01:48that was affected or damaged due to Hurricane Christine.
01:52And that is the latest. Let's go back to you, Raffy.
01:55You mentioned the damaged fuel tanker. Does that have an effect on the operation of the port, JP?
02:02Well, according to the management of Batangas Port, there is no significant effect.
02:09But according to some passengers, they noticed that some ships could not dock and they could not board immediately.
02:19But according to the Philippine Coast Guard, we just talked to them,
02:24and they are now postponing the process of documenting the towing operation of the ship
02:33because it is urgent to remove it so that it will not get in the way.
02:38For now, it's a good thing that not many passengers are coming here this 2024, Raffy.
02:45You mentioned it. Again, to those who are going there, Batangas Port is spacious.
02:50Raffy, let's go to Occidental Mindoro.
02:56That's right, Raffy. For those who are going to Puerto Galera, the fast crafts are open.
03:00But if you are going to other parts of the province, the towing will be removed even if the passengers are not full, Raffy.
03:09Thank you very much, JP Soriano.
