Manila: Several government agencies on Thursday warned motorists against traveling to the Bicol Region and the Visayas and Mindanao via Matnog Port due to the incoming tropical storm Man-yi, which will be named Pepito once it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). According to Philippines News Agency, Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II stated that Man-yi is expected to enter the PAR on Thursday night. "There were already initial agreements with the OCD based on our coordination, and part of it is to regularly update the public on the threat of this new weather disturbance," Mendoza said. He advised travelers to exercise caution when traveling or to stay at home and delay any travel plans until the weather improves. The advisory is effective starting 6 p.m. on November 14. Meanwhile, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has imposed a temporary suspension on all land travel by buses and trucks bound for Visayas and Mindanao via Matnog Port and other areas in the Bicol Region. This decision is based on the recommendation of the OCD regional office and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council to prevent the buildup of stranded passengers and vehicles along Maharlika Highway and other major roads in areas expected to be affected by the tropical storm. The LTFRB also advises operators to apply all applicable precautionary measures to ensure the safety of passengers. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that Man-yi is on track to enter the PAR Thursday night and may make landfall over the eastern coast of southern Luzon during the weekend. The storm is currently located 1,220 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao and may cause potentially hazardous sea conditions over the country's seaboard starting late Friday or Saturday.
