TACLOBAN CITY –– Operations of the three sea terminals in Allen town, Northern Samar resumed around 5 a.m. on Monday after the Philippine Coast Guard lifted the no-sailing policy in the municipality due to Typhoon “Quinta” that hit parts of Eastern Visayas on Sunday.
A report of the Philippine Coast Guard based in Allen said 668 passengers bound for Luzon were stranded in the three terminals since Sunday: Bhalwartico with 255 passengers; Sta. Clara with 373 passengers; and Dapdap with 40 passengers.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the province reported that all major roads and bridges were not affected by the heavy rains spawned by Quinta.
However, a portion of the Calbayog-Catarman road has been impassable after a minor landslide hit the area.
Clearing operation was immediately conducted by the DPWH.
