00:00Some passengers were stranded in Pantalan, Manila due to Hurricane Nika.
00:05Belle Custodio will give you the details live.
00:11Audrey, some passengers were suspended in Pantalan due to Hurricane Nika.
00:16That's why there are so many stranded passengers here at Northport Passenger Terminal in Manila.
00:22Some passengers were discarded to sleep at Northport Passenger Terminal.
00:31Just like Hidalgo who spent the night sleeping in a monoblock.
00:37I was here at 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
00:41This is where we found out that our trip was cancelled because of the hurricane.
00:51Nelfa was supposed to travel to Ozami but she didn't expect that the trip was already suspended.
00:58I arrived here at 12 o'clock in the early morning.
01:02But I was surprised when the guard told me that the trip was suspended.
01:09I asked them why they didn't text me because I didn't receive any text messages.
01:18We can't do anything if the trip is suspended.
01:22We just have to wait for the hurricane to pass.
01:26Based on the advisory issued by Tugo,
01:29MV St. Michael – The Archangel SMA-12 Voyage 91,
01:35which travels from Manila to Tumagete, Dipolog and Zamboanga,
01:39Tumagete to Dipolog and Zamboanga, and Dipolog to Zamboanga and Manila,
01:44MV Tugo – Masinag MNG Voyage 27, which travels from Zamboanga to Manila,
01:51and MV St. Francis Xavier SFX-16 Voyage 91, which travels from Coron to Manila,
01:58Cebut to Ozamis, Butuan and Manila, and Butuan to Manila.
02:02Passengers who will be affected by the suspended trip may book or refund.
02:09Meanwhile, there is a high level of gale warning for the eastern seaboard of Luzon,
02:13including the eastern coast of Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon,
02:18along with the Polinio Islands, Camarines Norte,
02:21northern and eastern coast of Camarines Sur, and northern coast of Catanuanes.
02:26The trip is prohibited for the so-called countrymen.
02:30Audrey, most of the passengers we spoke to were not notified
02:38or did not see the advisory of Tugo on the cancelled trips.
02:42That's why yesterday, these passengers were already here.
02:46Based on the records of the Philippine Ports Authority,
02:49270 were included as stranded passengers,
02:53and the passengers arrived early here at the North Port.
02:56At this time, the new advisory of Tugo is still waiting for the return of the passengers.
03:01Back to you, Audrey.
03:03Okay, be careful to our countrymen who will travel.
03:06Thank you very much, Vel Custodio.
