00:00How about we add more trips to Batangas so we can recover from the cancellation of bad weather.
00:11JPE Soriano is live.
00:15Are there still many passengers there, JPE?
00:22There are still many.
00:23The truth is, until now, boats and ferries are leaving to go to different provinces
00:29so that our countrymen can spend a long weekend there
00:34after the typhoon Christine and while there is a typhoon Leon.
00:43This fuel tanker is still in operation for a week after it caught fire because of the typhoon Christine.
00:49The boat is being processed and the underwater survey has already been submitted to the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:56They will decide if they will tow it or salvage it.
01:00The boat was not towed by force on the shore itself.
01:04The turnaround or actual refitting of the boats was done on purpose
01:10due to the number of passengers and because of the time constraint.
01:15The delivery truck of eggs that Angelito is driving has been in line for 6 hours.
01:22The truck is waiting to go to Port of Abra de Ilog in Occidental, Mindoro.
01:28Yes, that's the one.
01:30Then there was a typhoon.
01:32That's why it took a long time to travel.
01:35That's why it took a long time to travel.
01:38Batangas Port is in a hurry to drive more passengers and to add more trips.
01:44Even though we are in a relaxed order, we can see that you can leave.
01:49We will give you a shifting order. Otherwise, you will receive a 500 percent penalty from me.
01:53It's a good thing that some fast crafts were allowed to leave because the weather is getting better.
01:59Just like yesterday when their operation was suspended.
02:02It is expected that 20,000 passengers will arrive here this evening
02:08to Mindoro, Romblon, Aclan, Capiz and others.
02:12Leigh is one of them.
02:14She is in her mother's arms.
02:16She took care of her for many years after she had a stroke before she gave birth.
02:22It's hard when I don't have a mother.
02:28But everything is there.
02:32Now, she's better. It's not hard anymore.
02:36According to the complaint of some delivery truck drivers yesterday,
02:40there are cars that are in a hurry to drive Roro.
02:45They are filling up the space of Roro with cars that are big enough to balance the load.
02:52The big and heavy ones will pass.
02:57The master of the vessel can see that this is to balance the load of the ship.
03:03Even if you are the one who will follow, you will ride alone.
03:06Because of the storage plan on safety.
03:12Meanwhile, there are people who are working hard in Batangas
03:17who got up from their seats when the storm hit Christine.
03:20In the aerial inspection of the PNP Air Unit,
03:23you can see the width of the area that was hit by the storm
03:26like Gumuhung Tulay in Barangay Bilibinwang and Barangay Subic Ibaba in Agoncillo.
03:31There are also landslides because the houses in Barangay Bilibinwang were damaged.
03:38Meanwhile, relief goods were delivered to the affected residents of this barangay
03:42who were isolated or did not arrive immediately because there is no way to pass.
03:46And that's the latest from Batangas Port.
03:49Back to you, Mel.
03:51Thank you very much, JP Soriano.
