The Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC) - Bicol on Tuesday canceled sea travel in all provinces in Bicol Region after the province was placed <a href="https://www.dzrh.com.ph/post/several-areas-in-luzon-visayas-under-signal-no.-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">under Signal Number 1 </a>due to Tropical Depression Amang.
In an advisory signed by RDRRMC Bicol Regional Director Claudio Yucot, it stated that the cancelation was issued to ensure the safety of all sea travelers amid inclement weather.
All sea trips will resume once the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) lifted the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1, RDMRRC Bicol said.
