THE Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will be on heightened alert starting Dec. 15, 2023, until Jan. 8, 2024, to ensure safe maritime travel during the Yuletide Season.

"As always during this holiday season, we are expecting a surge of passengers who will pass through airports, seaports and bus stations. We expect more travelers, considering that we have recovered from the pandemic. Compared to our 2019 figures, it might be 5 to 10 percent higher," Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said.
