The Coast Guard teams were deployed at Dagatan Bay Resort and Sohoton Cove two of the top tourist destinations in the area purposely to render passenger assistance, enforce security measures, and ensure the safe transit of all inbound and outbound passengers amid the increase in tourist arrivals during the long holiday break.
With the implementation of full alert status, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) strengthened its presence and visibility to help prevent incidents, manage maritime traffic, and respond immediately to any emergency situations in the said areas.
Travelers and tourists are strongly advised to remain vigilant, wear life vests at all times while on watercraft, and strictly follow safety protocols and instructions from Coast Guard personnel to ensure their own safety and that of others.
The PCG in Bucas Grande remains steadfast in its commitment in protecting lives and maintaining maritime safety as well as the law and order at sea particularly during peak travel seasons.
Stay safe everyone!
