Over 100K outbound passengers at the onset of Holy Week —PCG

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Monday monitored more than 100,000 outbound passengers at all seaports in the country at the onset of the Holy Week.

In Cedric Castillo’s report on “24 Oras,” PCG spokesperson Rear Admiral Armand Balilo reminded passengers to remain vigilant and to listen to instructions issued by the vessel’s captain and crew, especially after the recent fire incident with MV Lady Mary Joy 3 in which 29 individuals perished.

The Philippine Ports Authority is under “heightened alert” amid the expected influx of travelers for the celebration of the Holy Week. “Kami naman sa PPA, naghihigpit kami pagdating sa security check, 'yung baggage check natin. Kaya po by batch ang pasok ng mga tao at nagkaroon na rin po tayo ng mga body scan at mga screening lalo na sa mga dala nila,” said PPA spokesperson Eunice Samonte.
