MANILA, Philippines – Ferry trips resumed in parts of Luzon and the Visayas, after the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) lifted the sea travel ban imposed due to Typhoon Ompong (Mangkhut).
The PCG said trips at ports in Manila, Batangas, Mindoro, Quezon, Bicol, Cebu, Bohol, Samar, Leyte, Dumaguete, and Iloilo were already allowed to operate.
The ban was lifted at 5 am on Sunday, September 16.
