Stranded
passengers going to Roxas, Oriental Mindoro, and Batangas City are expected to
stay longer in Caticlan Jetty port.
This
was due to the threat of bad weather brought by Typhoon Ruby in some areas of
Northern Luzon and Mindoro Island, as per reports from PAGASA.
Caticlan
Jetty Port Special Operations Officer III Jean Pontero said that the total number
of stranded passengers in their protection is 39.
According
to Pontero, passengers from different provinces in Region 6 were stranded since
Friday after the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) released an advisory suspending vessels’
operation because of Typhoon Ruby.
She
added that that they continue to provide food to the passengers until the operation
of the RoRo vessels are ‘Okayed’.
Meanwhile,
motorbancas in Caticlan and Cagban Vice resumed operation after it was
cancelled due to said typhoon.
