The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) has recorded more than 1.6 million passengers since the start of the Holy Week exodus on April 2, which it said, is 24 percent higher compared to the same Lenten break last year. ManilaBulletin
PPA General Manager Jay Daniel Santiago said the increase in the passenger traffic in all ports across the country is proof that the Philippines is indeed continuously recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic.
From April 2, Santiago ordered the cancellation of all leaves of PPA personnel, particularly those assigned in port operations, to maximize the PPA manpower in attending to the needs of the passengers amid the Holy Week exodus. It was followed by the second highest number of passengers recorded last Holy Wednesday with a total of 233,962 passengers.
