01:24There are still a lot of women passing through Batangas Port.
01:28Are there any fully booked, cancelled, or delayed trips to Batangas Port?
01:36That's right.
01:37Most of the people who are fully booked are those who have long trips,
01:41like those who are going to Roblon and Katiklan.
01:44What is the reason for the cancellation or delay of their trips?
01:49They are fully booked.
01:51Those who have long trips, the ship is big, but it's only once a day.
01:56If you are left on this day, you will be able to travel again tomorrow.

02:22That's how many people came here last night.
02:25As you can see, is the number of passengers enough for all the passengers to board?
02:34If we look at it, it seems like the number of passengers is increasing.
02:40Our ships have shortcomings.
02:44Yesterday, it stopped early in the morning.
02:49There are other ships that are not available.
02:51That's why it was delayed early in the morning.
02:54But when the sun rose, our ships continued to travel.
