05 NOVEMBER Passenger traffic at seaports across the country during the Undas 2024 exodus was lower than anticipated. According to the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), from October 28 to November 4, a total of 1,076,171 passengers passed through various ports across the country, compared to 1,544,313 passengers recorded during the same period last year.
Several factors may have contributed to this decrease. For one, the longer weekend holiday in 2023 likely led to an increased number of travelers compared to this year. Additionally, the aftermath of Typhoon Kristine may have caused some seaport passengers to delay or reschedule their trips.
The PPAs proactive information dissemination and 24/7 communication via social media also played a key role in keeping the public informed about trip cancellations, port statuses, and updates on the agencys support for government relief operations.
Among the Port Management Offices (PMOs) with the highest passenger traffic this year were PMO Bohol, with 126,532 total passengers, followed by PMO Davao (123,290), PMO Negros Oriental/Siquijor (116,087), PMO Batangas (103,858) and PMO Negros Occidental / Bacolod / Banago Bredco (100,194).
