Several passengers are currently stranded at the Lucena port in Quezon due to the cancellation of trips in areas affected by tropical depression Amang.

Kevin Lagardo, Media Relation Officer of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) in Lucena, said around 170 passengers bound for the islands of Marinduque, Romblon, and Masbate are currently under their care in PPA facilities.

Of the stranded passengers, 21 are children and 58 are women.
Additionally, 10 rolling cargoes were unable to board RORO vessels after trips were stopped at around 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, with no ships arriving from the affected provinces, the PPA reported that the return trips of those heading back to Metro Manila from their respective provinces are also delayed.
