00:13Good morning, Igan.
00:15How are the passengers? Are there a lot of passengers today?
00:20Yes, Igan. We have a lot of passengers today compared to yesterday.
00:26We have four trips today to go. Actually, one of them is close boarding. There are 215 passengers this morning at 7 a.m.
00:41Now, at 12 p.m., we will go to Bacolod, which has 430 bookings. Later, at 5 p.m. and before 12 p.m., we will go to Puerto Princesa and Zamboanga.
01:04So in total, Igan, we will have 1,028 passengers today compared to yesterday, which was only 386.
01:14Wow. That's a lot. Are there any canceled trips?
01:18No, Igan.
01:20As for your monitoring, until when will the number of trips increase? Will there be more tomorrow, even November 2?
01:29We still have plans for tomorrow, but there are no confirmed bookings yet. There are more now.
01:37So did you reach the peak that you're hoping for, Ma'am Geneliza?
01:41Yes. This is the peak based on our records of our shipping lines.
01:50Are there any medical emergency reports for our passengers?

02:02We have a PTV. There's a doctor on standby and 24-7 nurse. That's our PTV.
02:15Last reminder for those who are going to the province, Ma'am Geneliza. Go ahead.
02:20Yes. Our reminder to our passengers and our continued call to them is that they should continue to monitor our shipping lines
