00:02 In the cartoon, last night,
00:04 Nanay Corsini and her two grandchildren
00:06 were stranded in Manila North Port.
00:08 It started yesterday because of the typhoon Egaya.
00:11 They spent P3,500 on a taxi from Bulacan to Pantlana
00:16 and they don't have money to go back to their homeland.
00:19 She's worried.
00:21 They're only saving a few pieces of bread
00:24 and she can't feed her grandchildren.
00:27 If this runs out, and we don't know yet
00:30 because we don't have an update on when our trip will be,
00:33 we don't have anything to give them
00:36 because we don't have enough money.
00:40 We only have money to get there.
00:43 They said our trip is still on Saturday,
00:45 at 5 p.m.
00:47 If our trip is on Saturday,
00:49 we'll be here for a few more days.
00:51 It's good that food arrived
00:53 from the capital of Manila, North Port.
00:55 Passengers are being lined up
00:57 according to the destination of their ticket.
00:59 According to the PPA,
01:01 the number of stranded passengers today
01:03 has increased to more than 500.
01:06 Here in Manila, North Port,
01:07 the Philippine Ports Authority set up a film showing
01:10 so that passengers can have a feast
01:13 while they wait for their trip.
01:16 Before this was set up,
01:17 food was already given to North Port.
01:19 Later this afternoon,
01:21 food will be given to the shipping line.
01:23 Yesterday, the PPA will give lugaw to passengers.
01:27 The Philippine Coast Guard also inspected the situation.
01:30 According to the PCG,
01:31 11,000 passengers were stranded in the Philippines
01:35 in the two-day period of the Super Typhoon Egay.
01:38 74 ships were also stopped
01:41 because of the PCG's no-sail zone policy
01:44 when the storm warning signal is raised in a place.
01:47 But the weather has improved,
01:49 especially in Bicol and Eastern Visayas.
01:52 Some ships are already starting to travel.
01:56 Maybe it's just a delay, not a stranded.
01:59 But here, we are looking at whether it can be until later this afternoon
02:03 when the forecast shows that it will be a storm
02:05 and there is a lift here in Metro Manila.
02:07 Well, there is no reason to wait
02:09 for our countrymen here in the National Capital Region.
02:14 The PPA will remind passengers
02:16 to be careful with the shipping lines
02:19 during their trip, especially now that there is a storm
02:21 before they head to the port.
02:23 We talked to some of them
02:24 and their flights or trips are still in August 7.
02:28 So they will be here for two more weeks.
02:30 We will remind passengers
02:32 that if the shipping line is already abused
02:35 and their trips are not continued,
02:37 it is better if they do not go to the port
02:41 and stay at their homes
02:43 to make sure that they can sleep well.
