LUCENA CITY — Sea travel in Quezon province was suspended starting Friday, Nov. 29, due to rough sea conditions, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said.
The PCG issued the suspension order on Friday afternoon citing a state weather bureau forecast that strong gale-force winds are expected to affect the eastern seaboard of Southern Luzon, including the northern and eastern coast of Polillo Islands, the northern coast of Panukulan, Burdeos island towns, the eastern coast of Patnanungan, and Jomalig island municipalities in Quezon.
This meant that all trips of vessels with 250 gross tonnages or less plying the route within the above-mentioned areas of northern Quezon were suspended.

The suspension order will be lifted and sea travel for small sea craft may be resumed any time when the weather improves, based on the forecast of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, the PCG said.
