Gov agencies warn against travel via Matnog Port due to Super Typhoon Pepito

Several government agencies have warned motorists and travelers against traveling to Bicol, Visayas, and Mindanao via Matnog Port due to incoming Super Typhoon Pepito.

Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza advised travelers to exercise caution, stay at home, or delay travel until the weather improves starting 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 14.

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has suspended all bus trips going to and from the Bicol Region ahead of Pepito's expected landfall for the prevention of stranded passengers and vehicles along major roads.

PITX announced the cancellation of 16 bus trips going to Bicol, Visayas, and Davao starting November 14 due to Typhoon Pepito.

Tropical Storm Pepito, which has intensified into a super typhoon, may cause hazardous sea conditions over the country's seaboard starting late Friday or Saturday.
