A total of 34,884 outbound passengers and 29,272 inbound passengers, or a total of 64,156 passengers, were monitored in all ports on the first few hours of Good Friday, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said.
To ensure order and the passengers' safety, the PCG deployed 2,666 frontline personnel in 15 PCG Districts who inspected 293 vessels and 615 motorbancas.
To manage the influx of port passengers during the Holy Week, the PCG placed its districts, stations, and sub-stations on heightened alert. According to the PCG, the heightened alert will also cover the summer vacation to serve local tourists traveling by sea until May 31. The public is encouraged to coordinate with the PCG through its official Facebook page or the Coast Guard Public Affairs for their concerns on sea travel protocols and regulations.
