00:00The Philippine Coast Guard also reminded passengers to be alert against frauds.
00:07According to PCG Spokesperson Commodore Armando Ricafrente,
00:11individuals who are soliciting money in exchange for the Umanoy service should not be overlooked.
00:18These individuals are using the excess of passengers to deceive.
00:22They should be followed up with proper ticketing and booking procedures.
00:27Today, passengers are expected to return to their respective provinces for the new year.
00:35PCG's assurance is that they will strictly monitor not only the passage of ships,
00:41but also the safety of passengers from malicious intentions.
00:47We should not neglect this and report it to the Philippine Coast Guard
00:54or other agencies such as the TNP so that we can give proper attention to this
01:00so that we can ensure that there is no violation in the entry of passengers
01:05and as much as possible, it should be a first-come, first-served basis
01:09depending on their booking and their ticket to organize the passage of our passengers.
