00:12Rona Liza booked the ship early.
00:15But she arrived late in Manila North Port due to traffic.
00:19We should have arrived early. We were really in traffic.
00:23That's why we were left behind by the ship.
00:26They told us to wait until tomorrow or the next day.
00:31But we are not sure if we will be able to travel to Cebu.
00:35Ramzell made the trip to Pantalan so that the ship will not leave for Zamboanga del Sur.
00:42I was already late. It was already dark. Traffic. There was a lot of traffic.
00:47The Philippine Ports Authority answered those who were left behind by the ship.
00:51It depends on how they were left behind.
00:54Usually, they have to book online if they really want to make sure that the trip is safe.
01:03But if they went to Pantalan and there are no more tickets, they can wait until the shipping line opens again.
01:13But it is better to travel earlier, especially now that the traffic is going to Pantalan.
01:19More than 4.5 million passengers are expected to travel to Pantalan from December 15, 2024 to January 5, 2025.
01:28This is higher than the 4.3 million passengers last year.
01:33This is because of the recent typhoon last month where the number of passengers decreased in November.
01:39This Friday, the passenger traffic reached 700,000.
01:44According to the Philippine Port Authority, it is better to book tickets online to avoid being a chance passenger.
01:50The Philippine Port Authority made the services in Pantalan more convenient for those who have a long trip.
01:55When it comes to the service of the Philippine Port Authority, for example, our passenger terminals have been expanded.
02:01We also increased our seating capacity there.
02:05We also have separate rooms, for example, for PWDs, nurses, and children.
02:12As you can see, in Northport, the children's room has been opened.
02:15We also have a playroom and a player room for our fellow Filipinos who are waiting.
02:21All year long, our water refilling stations and charging stations are working well.
02:29The Philippine Port Authority is concerned about booking tickets for the fixers.
02:34Yes, let us just remind you.
02:36The fixers outside Pantalan are still spreading.
02:40We can't control this because they are outside Pantalan.
02:43These are the people who are booking tickets in exchange for a higher price and in exchange for being able to enter immediately.
02:51Don't believe this because these are scammers.
02:54They are offering triple the price of the ticket.
02:57At the same time, this is not reliable because these are not employees of Pantalan.
03:04It's better to book online and don't believe the fixers.
03:08Don't believe the fixers who are offering travel insurance because they are included in the payment of the travel insurance ticket.
03:16Pantalan is also reminding people not to bring things that are prohibited on the trip, such as drunken, drunk, and ill-mannered things.
03:24Also, check with the LGOs if there is a local ordinance issued for things that are allowed and prohibited to bring.
03:30The PPA is also cooperating with other agencies, including the Philippine Coast Guard, the marina, and the shipping lines,
03:37especially those who are monitoring the waves and shear lines.
03:40As of now, there is no canceled trip on Pantalan.
