The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported that over 215 passengers were left stranded on Sunday, August 9th, as a result of severe weather conditions caused by the ‘Habagat’ monsoon. The inclement weather disrupted sea travel, leading to the grounding of vessels and the subsequent stranding of those awaiting transport. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and prioritizing the safety of those affected. No specific details regarding locations or vessel types were immediately available, but the PCG is working to resume safe passage as soon as conditions improve. The Habagat monsoon regularly brings heavy rainfall and strong winds to the Philippines during this time of year. Passengers are advised to heed warnings and check with the PCG for updates before proceeding with their travel plans.
