MANILA, Philippines — Massive passengers, who were going to provinces and traveled via maritime transportation, gathered this Saturday at Manila and Batangas ports to celebrate their holy week with their families and loved ones.


Batangas Port recorded 6,500 outbound passengers. Online ticketing and advanced booking are suspended at Batangas port, therefore, the passengers might have to wait longer than 3 hours to physically purchase their tickets. 


 "Our system now is first come, first serve," said by the Philippine Ports Authority's (PPA) General Manager, Jay Santiago.


On the other hand, inspections, protocols, and increased security personnel are implemented at Manila North Harbor port. 


In the statement of Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), employees are forbidden to leave from April 3-10 to guarantee 100% manpower during the holidays.
