00:00Several shipping line trips in Calapan Port have been cancelled as the country braces
00:07for the onslaught of Typhoon Pepito. And to give us more details on the situation in Oriental
00:13Mindoro, we have Angelo Calixtro from IBC. Good evening, Angelo. Yes, Angelo?
00:21Yes, Princess. Although the impact of Typhoon Pepito is not significantly felt in Oriental
00:27Mindoro, the Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine Force Authority have announced
00:31the cancellation of trips to and from the Port of Calapan, starting as early as 7 o'clock a.m. today.
00:38Montenegro Shipping Lines, for instance, has had 16 trips affected by this cancellation.
00:44Meanwhile, 350 passengers arrived at the port from Batangas around 6.50 p.m. Authorities reported
00:52that these passengers are residents of Mindoro who were allowed to travel given the temporarily
00:57favorable weather conditions so they could be with their families. According to the PCG and PTA,
01:04these early cancellations are part of the government's ongoing efforts to ensure the safety
01:09of coastal community residents. From IBC 13, Angelo Calixtro, Marita Pambansa.
01:16Many thanks, Angelo Calixtro from IBC.
