PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Aug. 7 (PNA) -– The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has suspended the trips of all types of sea crafts in this province and in the nearby province of Zamboanga Sibugay.

Chief Petty Officer Rudy Aurea, coast guard deputy station commander, said Friday they suspended the trips due to rough seas and strong winds spawned by typhoon Hanna, although the storm did not hit Mindanao.

Aurea said the suspension was effective Wednesday and will remain in effect until the sea conditions normalize.

Aurea said those who were already at high seas when they issued the suspension order were advised to keep their communication lines open and to provide them periodic situation report.

He said so far, no untoward incident was reported since the time Hanna (international name: Soudelor) entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
