MANILA, Philippines — The operations of the Pasig River Ferry remain suspended on Friday due to the elevated water level of the river, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced.
It was first suspended last Tuesday due to inclement weather caused by the southwest monsoon, locally known as “habagat.”
“Nananatiling suspendido ang operasyon ng Pasig River Ferry Service ngayong araw, Hulyo 26. Mataas ang lebel ng tubig dahilan para lumubog ang mga pontoon at ang iba sa mga ito ay masira,” the MMDA Pasig River Ferry Service said in a Facebook post.
(The operation of the Pasig River Ferry Service remains suspended today, July 26. The high water level caused the pontoons to sink and some of them to be damaged.)
In a separate advisory, the state weather bureau said cloudy and rainy conditions will prevail in Luzon, while fair weather is expected in the Visayas and Mindanao.
