Over 2,700 passengers were stranded in ports across Eastern Visayas, Bicol, Central Visayas, and northeastern Mindanao due to Typhoon Bising.

Eastern Visayas had the highest number of stranded individuals with 1,185 passengers, drivers, and helpers, followed by Bicol with 971 people.

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported rough sea conditions in northeastern Mindanao and moderate to rough seas in Bicol, leading to canceled sea travels as a precautionary measure.

The PCG also recorded over 2,000 passengers being stranded in ports of Eastern Visayas, Bicol, Central Visayas, and North Eastern Mindanao due to light to rough sea conditions.

More than 500 passengers were stranded at ports in Eastern Visayas as Typhoon Bising brought moderate to heavy rains, with the Philippine National Police providing free rides to assist them.
