Oplan Byaheng Ayos logs over 30.5K inbound, 30K outbound passengers

The Philippine Coast Guard has monitored 34,592 outbound passengers and 30,158 inbound passengers in all ports nationwide as of Wednesday, 1 November.

The PCG has deployed 3,387 frontline personnel in 15 Coast Guard districts and inspected 353 vessels and 740 motorbancas (motorboats) going in and out of the ports.

The Department of Transportation earlier activated Oplan Biyaheng Ayos to intensify this year's security and monitoring in transportation hubs across the country during barangay elections and All Saints Day or Undas.

This prompted the PCG to place its districts, stations, and sub-stations on heightened alert from 25 October to 6 November "to manage the influx of port passengers."

Should the public have any inquiries, concerns, or clarifications regarding sea travel protocols and regulations during Undas 2023, they can contact Coast Guard Public Affairs (0927-560-7729) or coordinate with the PCG via its official Facebook page.
