LUCENA CITY – All boats in Batangas started sailing again on Wednesday morning (May 31) after the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) lifted the gale warning in the province.
“All voyages of small crafts in the province of Batangas are resumed to its normal operation,” the Philippine Coast Guard-Batangas (PCG-Batangas) announced on its Facebook page.
The PCG-Batangas advisory cited a 5 a.m. forecast by Pagasa that the strong gale with wind force warning in the province has been removed.
