AKLAN – Typhoon “Quinta” prompted the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) here to cancel trips of vessels and motorbancas from Caticlan Jetty Port in Malay town to Batangas, Mindoro and Romblon yesterday.
PCG-Aklan cited the 5 a.m. weather advisory of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) placing the province of Aklan under tropical cyclone wind signal No. 1 due to “Quinta.”
Meanwhile, motorbanca trips from Tabon Port to Boracay and vice versa were temporarily cancelled due to rough seas. However, it can resume anytime once Pagasa issues a favorable weather advisory.
PCG-Aklan also advised seagoing riding public, coastal communities and fisherfolks to refrain from engaging in any sea/water-related activities to prevent untoward incidents./PN
