00:00Yesterday, some passengers were stranded while waiting for their flight to some port, like Batangas Port.
00:07It was broadcasted live there.
00:09Who is it, Gaston? Who is it?
00:15The heavy rain and strong winds continue to pour here in Batangas Port,
00:20where yesterday, all ships' flights were suspended and where more than 200 passengers are still stranded.
00:30The heavy rain and strong winds continue to pour here in Batangas Port,
00:40where yesterday, all ships' flights were suspended and where more than 200 passengers are stranded.
00:47In the middle of the raging sea, a ship was hit by a strong wind and strong waves.
00:54The heavy rain and strong winds continue to pour here in Batangas Port,
00:59which is dangerous for sea vehicles if there are no passengers.
01:03But if the situation worsens, it may also be dangerous for passengers who are stranded inside the passenger terminal.
01:12There are already 240 passengers stranded here, and some are still stranded at the terminal yesterday.
01:19According to international standards, passengers are allowed to stay at the ferry terminal whenever there is a storm.
01:25But since there is no longer a possibility for stranded passengers, they are allowed to enter and stay at the terminal.
01:32Although it was allowed for them to enter, even though the port is beyond the standards,
01:39because of the inclement weather, the top management, the GM, has a directive
01:43to evacuate in case the storm gets worse, because it is impossible to enter here.
01:51Inside the terminal, the doors were closed due to the strong winds.
01:56Because the windows are closing, some passengers are also worried.
02:01I'm really worried because I wanted to go home yesterday, but we couldn't go home.
02:07It's okay as long as we're eating here.
02:10When the afternoon arrived, the passengers were transferred to the back of the terminal building.
02:15The PDRRMO also ordered that they should continue their search
02:19because it is possible that on Saturday or Friday, the ships will return to normal.
02:29Until now, the stranded passengers are still inside the passenger terminal at Batangas Port.
02:38Although they are receiving help and food from the Philippine Force Authority,
02:43all facilities and food outlets in the terminal are still closed.
02:49Mel.
02:50Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.
