Sea travel was made more secure, safe and organized for passengers as the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA) conducted its yearly Passenger Assistance Center (PAC) in time for the All Souls and All Saints Day.
Dubbed Oplan Undas 2014, the activity gathered hundreds of PAC operatives from various groups to secure and organize the major piers in the country where an influx of sea-going passengers are expected to arrive.
Under the leadership of CGADNCR-CL District Director RADM VALENTIN B PRIETO JR PCGA, all 16 Squadrons of the said district were deployed in various ports in Manila such as the North Harbor and CCP Bay Terminal to ensure the safety and orderliness of the passengers arriving and departing.
Despite having no pier in its area of responsibility in Cavite, the 125th Squadron pursued with its public service by joining the PAC in CCP Complex, Pasay where MV Sun Cruises docks for loading and unloading of passengers bound for Corregidor, Bataan.
Along with the personnel from the PCG, PNP Maritime Police, 101st Squadron and 130th Squadron, the group assisted a total of 165 passengers in safely boarding the craft and ensuring that their baggage are free of prohibited cargoes such as flammables, explosives, noxious substances, sharp objects and arms.
