Bohol spared as neighboring areas bear the brunt of typhoon Tino
A columnist from The Bohol Tribune lamented the devastation caused by typhoon Tino in neighboring areas, contrasting Bohol’s relatively unscathed condition.
Columnist Donald Sevilla, in an interview with Ardy Araneta-Batoy on Nov. 6, 2025, said Bohol experienced minimal damage and only one casualty.
Sevilla was referring to areas in Cebu City and Cebu province, which suffered severe flooding due to the typhoon’s heavy winds and rains.
According to Sevilla, the winds were manageable, but the rains were a different story.
He noted that development, particularly in the mountains, has been excessive.
Sevilla pointed out rapid housing and urban development in Cebu, citing previously quiet towns like Minglanilla and Liloan, which are now being rapidly developed.
The mountainsides are now dotted with housing developments and subdivisions, leaving runoff water with limited outlets as higher plains are filled with development.
Sevilla believes flood control projects may be insufficient to prevent flooding, as witnessed in previous typhoons.
He also attributed the flooding to creeks and waterways being blocked by illegal structures, making disasters like this bound to happen due to people’s hardheadedness.
No damage reported in Albur, says police
Albur police reported that they did not receive any reports of damage incurred during Typhoon Tino.
Staff Sgt. Senterio Elicot Jr. and Staff Sgt. Andrew Jamoner, both from Albur Police Station, shared the town’s status following the typhoon’s onslaught during the Open Forum program on November 6, 2025.
There were also no casualties reported in Albur.
The police were on full alert during the typhoon, they said.
Jamoner stated that the town experienced a peaceful streak during the typhoon, with no incidents reported that disrupted peace and order.
The police imposed prevention measures to maintain peace and order, especially when the typhoon hit Bohol.
They advised people in vulnerable areas to evacuate when necessary, using a sound system to announce the need to evacuate, in an effort dubbed as “Oplan Bandilyo”.
The police also urged residents to remain alert and aware of their surroundings, as the typhoon posed dangers due to strong winds and rains.
Jamoner credited the experience of Odette for convincing people to heed authorities’ advice.
The police thanked the people for their cooperation, which made the evacuation process seamless and easy.
The provision for relief goods was organized, making distribution efficient, and thus far, the relief operation has not encountered any problems.
According to reports, around 900 evacuees were placed in designated evacuation centers, with the main center located in East Poblacion.
BWUI reports no damage on facilities
The Bohol Water Utility Incorporated (BWUI) reported that no damage was detected on its facilities, according to company spokesman Victor Tambis, on November 5, 2025.
Tambis made the statement during Newsmakers ug Uban Pa, saying that following an inspection after Typhoon Tino, it was determined that the typhoon did not cause any damage to facilities such as pumping stations in Tagbilaran City and Corella town.
A power interruption was felt in some pumping stations as power from Bohol Electric Cooperative 1 was disrupted on Monday and restored the following day, November 4, 2025.
This impacted the water supply distribution due to lack of power in pumping stations.
The quick response team of BWUI prepared for contingencies that may arise at pumping stations or reservoirs if the winds became stronger.
The team conducted clearing operations near pumping stations that may lead to disruptions.
The BWUI ensured enough stocks of fuel for generators to enable continued operation even without power, using generator sets in case of a prolonged power interruption.
Personnel were equipped with chainsaws to remove any fallen tree branches that could disrupt the water service.
The BWUI has been communicating effectively with authorities in disaster risk reduction and management to enhance its ability to respond to potential disruptions.
Tambis said the BWUI used experiences in past typhoons to guide their preparations during the typhoon.
Bohol Light quick response team lauded
The Bohol Light quick response team (QRT) was lauded by consumers for its swift action during Typhoon Tino.
Sheryl Paga, the company’s spokesperson, expressed its appreciation during her guest appearance on Newsmakers ug Uban Pa on November 5, 2025.
The team, led by Engr. Raul Galano, implemented decisive preparations to ensure stable power during the typhoon that hit Bohol and Tagbilaran City.
With the help of Bohol Light teams, they conducted clearing activities, including pruning tree branches and removing obstructions that could be flown during strong winds.
The prompt action of the teams prevented power interruptions despite Tino’s strong winds and rains.
There were no power interruptions during Tino’s height in Bohol Light’s franchise area, and power remained stable until Tino left Bohol on November 4, 2025.
Some areas requested a temporary shutdown of power to ensure safety during clearing activities.
Bohol Light donated relief goods, which were turned over to the city General Services Office on November 4, 2025, for distribution to affected families.
As Bohol Light’s facilities were undamaged, a group of linemen will be deployed to Negros Island to help restore and re-energize fallen power lines in power distribution utilities affiliated with Bohol Light.
This activity demonstrates the spirit of cooperation during challenging times, Paga said.
The Bohol Light linemen will help expedite the resumption of power distribution in key areas in Negros Island.
Man hurt in Inabanga accident
A man was hurt after having been involved in an accident on November 5, 2025, in Inabanga.
The victim, identified as Daniel Sarigumba, was driving his motorcycle when the accident occurred.
The victim was on his way to a hospital in Inabanga to fetch a sibling when the incident happened.
As he arrived in Barangay Lutao, he felt something in his body, causing him to lose control of his motorcycle, leading to the accident.

The victim is currently receiving proper medical attention from doctors.
BPPO says Undas remained peaceful
Col. Patricio Degay Jr., director of the Bohol Police Provincial Office (BPPO) said the recent celebration of All Saints and All Souls Days remained generally peaceful.
He said there were no major untoward incidents recorded over the weekend.
The police were able to keep the peace even as they stated at the threats posed by typhoon Tino at that time.
Degay said that there were no crime incidents recorded during the holidays here in the province,
There were some vehicular accidents logged at that time, he said and these were immediately responded upon by local police stations and other agencies.
Degay said the police were on full alert status during the holidays and continues even if typhoon Tino has left Bohol.
The police are on alert as a new weather disturbance is approaching the country.
Degay thanked the members of BPPO and police officers in the various localities for their dedication to serve during critical days.
Gov orders PEO to check Ewon road
Gov. Aris Aumentado ordered the Provincial Engineering Office (PEO) on November 5, 2025, to check the status of the damaged provincial road in Barangay Ewon, Sevilla.
The move was confirmed by Sevilla Mayor Junin Caberte in a radio report, saying the road was damaged at the height of Typhoon Tino.
Caberte said the provincial road is passable by some vehicles but restricted to one lane.
The repairs on the road will start soon, allowing traffic to pass on both lanes.
This is critical as traffic may get heavy, with Sevilla set to celebrate its fiesta on December 12, 2025.
Caberte believes that the soil underneath the road moved because of the incessant rains brought by Typhoon Tino.
No major damage on Bohol agri as Tino leaves
As Typhoon Tino left, Bohol’s agriculture sector remained largely unscathed, with no significant damage recorded.
Moreover, there was no damage recorded on major lifelines in the province, such as power, water, and telecommunications.
There was only one fatality recorded as a result of the typhoon.
The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) stated that Bohol has not fulfilled the requirements to allow the declaration of a state of calamity, based on the national DRRM Council memorandum circular no. 60 series of 2019.
The assessment was presented by PDRRMO chief Anthony Damalerio during a meeting on November 5, 2025, that discussed post-disaster situations.
The meeting was held at the Capitol and presided over by Gov. Aris Aumentado.
The PDRRM council is now preparing for the impact of Typhoon Uwan, which is expected to cause issues in the coming week.
The next weather disturbance is expected to be more severe, according to the state weather bureau.
Arts and Theatre used as therapy for those impacted by calamity, says cultural worker
A cultural worker looked back on how arts and culture were used to help people overcome the challenges of experiencing a disaster, as of November 7, 2025.
Jerrey Aguilar, a cultural worker and recipient of the Carlos P. Garcia award for excellence in theatre arts, and also an engineer by trade, shared his insights as the guest of Kabataan for Change’s segment in Newsmakers ug Uban Pa.
He revealed how arts and theatre group Kasing Sining was used to help people overcome issues resulting from the 2013 earthquake that struck Bohol.
The group went around to help those affected by the earthquake heal, he said.
The group’s mission is to impart arts with a heart, explaining the reason behind the name Kasing Sining, which was founded by cultural worker Lutgardo Labad.
In the age of social media, often feelings are not properly processed.
The workshops conducted by the group focus on self-reflection and processing emotions, especially during times of calamity.
He emphasized the importance of reminding oneself that they are safe and should focus on the present, avoiding overthinking that can lead to hopelessness and anxiety.
Aguilar said the group’s workshops address feelings of hopelessness.
As a cultural worker, gaining support from the community and government is crucial.
Kasing Sining helps people believe in overcoming challenges and be proud to be Boholano.
It’s a way to remind people of Bohol’s culture and promote pride in uniquely Boholano work.
Bohol under state of emergency as Tino aftermath continues
Bohol has been placed under a state of emergency following the onslaught of Typhoon Tino.
This comes as the Philippines faces threats from an oncoming weather disturbance that will be called Uwan once it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Uwan is expected to hit the Philippines this weekend, bringing rains to most parts of the country.
On November 5, 2025, Gov. Aris Aumentado led the meeting of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC), where it was revealed that the Provincial Board conducted a special session to pass a resolution formally placing Bohol under a state of emergency.
Bohol has been distributing family food packs for the current and upcoming disaster.
The Provincial Government is preparing food packs for Uwan, as it is expected to cause issues for Boholanos.
Aumentado said 30,000 food packs are being prepared by the Provincial Government.
The state of emergency enables the government to implement measures or policies that are disallowed or irregular during normal conditions.
Such moves are made to ensure the safety and protection of citizens during, following, or in an impending calamity.
Other measures allowed during a state of emergency include relief operations, price control, and other measures that would ease the burden faced by the people during or after a calamity.
Around 46,000 families were affected by Tino in various Bohol towns, the PDRRMC said.
Now, Bohol is bracing itself as it faces the onslaught of Typhoon Uwan.
Bohol’s tourist attractions reopen after Tino’s passage
Bohol’s tourist attractions reopened as soon as Typhoon Tino left Bohol.
On November 5, 2025, some tourist destinations in Bohol reopened following the onslaught of the typhoon.
The reopening comes after safety inspections and coordination with local authorities.
This step was made to ensure the safety of tourists and tourism workers alike.
Tourism attractions are slowly opening as the typhoon has left Bohol and moved out to sea.
In Tagbilaran, the National Museum is open, and in Corella, the Tarsier Sanctuary is also open, as well as the Chocolate Hills Complex in Carmen, among other attractions.
Several tourist sites in Mabini, Anda, Danao, and Panglao are open.
In Panglao, water activities are still disallowed as of Wednesday.
Some tourist areas are closed and waiting for clearance, such as in Bilar, Alicia, and some areas in Candijay.
Authorities said the full reopening of tourist sites will depend on the weather.
Tagbilaran evacuees return home after Tino’s fury
Evacuees from Tagbilaran City have returned to their homes after a day as Typhoon Tino left Bohol.
This comes as some barangays are placed under assessment following the aftermath of the typhoon.
Based on reports from the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, some evacuees returned home as early as November 4, 2025, after getting clearance from authorities.
Evacuees from barangays of Mansasa, San Isidro, Manga, Dampas, Taloto, and Tiptop returned home on Tuesday.
Other barangays underwent assessment and clearing operations, such as in Ubujan, Cogon, Booy, Poblacion 1, 2, and 3.
The city finalized the consolidated report as data from different barangays are being awaited.
The authorities are consolidating data on the number of persons affected by the typhoon.
Relief operations intensified as Tino exits Bohol
The relief operations on those affected were intensified following the impact of Typhoon Tino.
As of November 5, 2025, the provincial government under Gov. Aris Aumentado forwarded family food packs to the affected towns as Tino left Bohol.
The governor ordered the intense distribution of relief packs to affected residents.
Reports said that about 10,000 food packs were distributed to the localities and continued the distribution as of November 5, 2025.
The provincial government used wing and dump trucks to deliver the food packs, especially to northeastern towns of Bohol, such as Inabanga, Alicia, and Mabini, among others.
The number of food packs delivered was based on the number of reported evacuees, reports add.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has pre-positioned 54,000 family food packs to answer such needs as calamities stored in its warehouse.
The Office of the Provincial Social Welfare and Development prepared 6,000 food packs.
Reports said that 47,290 families evacuated from 48 localities.
As this developed, the governor wasted no time inspecting localities for damage caused by the typhoon.
He ventured out as soon as the typhoon left Bohol.
He took time to visit some evacuees who went to evacuation centers in Bohol.
Thousands evacuated to safer grounds as a way of precaution against the impact of the typhoon that treated almost all areas in central Philippines.
He inspected the damage caused by the typhoon to personally assess the situation of affected residents.
He went to Calape, where he met evacuees from island barangays who were temporarily sheltered at the Calape gym.
Aumentado congratulated Mayor Junie Yu for the swift action in protecting the people of the said town in coordination with the provincial government.
Then, Aumentado went to Getafe to visit the evacuees from island barangays that sought shelter at the Getafe gym.
He then proceeded to Talibon, which was among the areas placed under signal no. 4, so that the governor could personally check the condition of the residents and the impact of the typhoon on the town.
Aumentado expressed thanks that the people are in good hands as they received family food packs provided for them.
The governor hopes that soon these people can move forward after the impact of the typhoon.

The suspect, known as alias Allen, 50, was arrested following a sting operation as he engaged with a poseur buyer and sold alleged shabu worth P500.
Packed alleged shabu weighing 0.30 grams and valued at P2,000 more or less were taken from the suspect.
The operation was witnessed by barangay officials and the media.
Charges of violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 await the suspect.
The victim was rescued and rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was reported to be in stable condition.
Loboc River sheet piles help protect soil after waters rose
A report said the sheet piles used in the Loboc River Protection Project proved effective in protecting adjacent soil following the rise in river waters due to incessant rains brought by Typhoon Tino early in November.
The sheet piles are part of the flood control structure placed at the side of the river.
The structure is meant to protect soil and other infrastructure like houses along the side of the river.
Loboc Mayor Raymond Jala hailed the use of sheet piles that immensely helped in keeping the rising river waters at bay, saying their absence might lead to more catastrophe or devastating effect along the said river.
Jala said the local government unit is cooperating with agencies of the government to bolster the anti-flood structures as well as protecting the environment.
As of this writing, only sheet piles are installed along the river, as the flood control project at Loboc River was temporarily halted due to lack of an Environmental Compliance Certificate coming from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
Jagna LGU slams socmed post on landslides as unverified
The local government unit (LGU) of Jagna has cried foul over a social media post claiming landslides occurred in barangay Mayana and Cantuyoc.
In an official statement on November 5, 2025, posted on social media, the LGU advised the public to rely only on official social media pages of the LGU for information and updates.
The KGU said that the social media page of Mayor Louie Monungol is also a reliable source of information about Jagna, to avoid confusion and fake news.
At midmorning of November 5, 2025, the on-ground assessment of the key agencies of the town government was ongoing.
The LGU has not released an official count of those affected by the typhoon, including casualties or damage estimates.
The LGU asked Councilor Anthony Aniscal to clarify his social media post to avoid confusion and anxiety among the people.
Aniscal claimed in the comment section that he was merely helping disseminate information as a public official, based on reports from residents of the said barangays, and not creating controversy.
Aniscal said several homes were affected, but he never said they were damaged.
He wished the LGU had reached out to him privately instead of via social media, as they are both helping the residents.
Aniscal insisted he was not issuing false information when he made statements about the typhoon’s impact on certain Jagna areas.
He was helping provide information as a public official and media practitioner.
Tagbilaran’s decades-long drainage master plan review completed, awaits SP approval
The review of the Tagbilaran drainage master plan, which has taken three decades, is already over, according to Mayor Jane Yap.
In her social media post on November 5, 2025, she said the plan is now up for approval by the Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP).
The review of the drainage master plan started in 1990.
Once the plan is approved, no drainage project, whether public or private, will be allowed unless it aligns with the plan.
Yap expressed sympathy for what happened in Cebu following Typhoon Tino, as there are Boholanos living in Cebu who were affected by the flooding caused by the typhoon.
She added that what happened in Cebu should serve as a lesson to Boholanos to act now and not wait until it’s too late.
The plan will also include penalties for those who build illegal drainage systems secretly connected to the city drainage.
Bohol gov’t continues relief ops despite Tino’s exit
Gov. Aris Aumentado said on November 6, 2025, that relief operations are continuing even as Typhoon Tino has left the country.
Aumentado assessed that Tino had a minor impact on Bohol.
This comes as several thousand families evacuated to safer grounds before the typhoon hit the province early last week.
Slight damage was inflicted on infrastructure, including the provincial road in Barangay Ewon, Sevilla, and other reported landslides, especially in Jagna.
No school building used as an evacuation center was damaged by the typhoon.
Assessment for road damage is ongoing for possible fund releases from the Office of Civil Defense.
Power outages in some Bohol areas occurred at the height of Tino, but the governor said power was restored immediately.
The food packs from the Provincial Government are yet to be distributed, as the food packs from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) were initially distributed.
Aumentado thanked Boholanos for obeying authorities’ advice and thanked the Almighty as Bohol escaped virtually unscathed following Tino’s onslaught.
Meanwhile, he clarified that food pack distribution is void of any political color despite insinuations.
Trinidad Vice Mayor Joan Cajes-Imboy made a statement regarding the distribution of food packs, which the governor said surprised him.
Cajes-Imboy alleged that her town didn’t receive help from the provincial government, but Aumentado said Trinidad is among the first towns to submit status reports about evacuees and preposition relief goods.
Aumentado said the DSWD initially distributed food packs, and the provincial government has yet to distribute any to avoid duplication or overlap.
The provincial government readied food packs for Trinidad but needed certain documents from the local government unit, including a formal letter request, situational analysis report, and certification that the LGU’s disaster funds are exhausted.
The Provincial Government stated that LGUs receiving food packs complied with documentary requirements, but Trinidad’s food packs were delayed due to incomplete documents.
About 1,299 relief packs were given by the Office of the Provincial Social Welfare and Development (OPSWD) to affected facilities in Trinidad on November 5, 2025, after the OPSWD received the request.
Aumentado said there was a miscommunication between the Provincial Government and Trinidad’s LGU, but the Provincial Government remains transparent and conducts coordinated relief operations.
Authorities on heightened alert as typhoon Tino approaches, says PDRRMO
Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) chief Anthony Damalerio stated on November 3, 2025, that authorities have been on heightened alert since the holidays, and this alertness continued as typhoon Tino impacted Bohol.
He made this statement during his guest appearance on Newsmakers ug Uban Pa.
The authorities were asked to maintain the heightened alert, which proved helpful in mobilizing emergency response teams from local and national agencies.
Information about the storm is being sourced directly from credible authorities like the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
These agencies provide direct information, which is then cascaded to local government units and other agencies, such as the police and the Philippine Coast Guard.
Damalerio suggested that people prepare Go Bags containing supplies sufficient for 72 hours immediately following a disaster.
He emphasized that preparedness is key and should focus on things that can help mitigate the effects of a calamity.
Efforts have been made to prepare people for disaster challenges, with information provided on what to do in key areas, such as schools where student safety is a concern.
Vulnerable sectors must be prepared in case of problems like calamities.
Responders ensure their own and their families’ safety before providing assistance to others.
PAGASA monitors new possible supertyphoon
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is monitoring an incoming supertyphoon that could hit the country, said Ariel Abalos.
In his guest appearance on November 4, 2025, he stated that the state weather bureau is tracking the movement of the potential supertyphoon because there is a possibility the new disturbance may develop into a supertyphoon.
The new disturbance is being closely monitored, although uncertainties remain at this time.
Abalos said there is uncertainty regarding the disturbance’s trajectory.
However, there is a possibility the typhoon may make landfall in areas in Luzon.
Meanwhile, the state weather bureau has been monitoring typhoon Tino, which grazed Bohol, and said wind signals were lifted once the typhoon posed less danger to areas like Bohol.
Typhoon Tino leaves Bohol with 1 killed, minor damage
One person was initially reported killed and minor damage was left as typhoon Tino ravaged and left Bohol on November 3 and 4, 2025.
This was despite the fact that the state weather bureau hoisted signal no. 4 in some parts of the province.
This was the status of the province in the aftermath of the typhoon as reported by Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) chief Anthony Damalerio.
Damalerio said that based on their monitoring, a 52-year-old barangay tanod from Danao, Panglao died after a coconut tree fell on him as he was seeking safer grounds.
The victim was brought to a nearby hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
Damalerio said that authorities immediately cleared fallen electric posts.
Moreover, clearing operations were conducted in areas where there were landslides with the help of the engineering districts of the Department of Public Works and Highways.
As this developed, all roads in Bohol are passable.
The local government units also responded to emergency calls as Tino hit Bohol.
Damalerio said all LGUs in Bohol already submitted their respective damage reports and the post-disaster assessment is being awaited.
There is no need to declare a state of calamity in Bohol as the damage and situation did not satisfy the criteria.
There were no damage reports on infrastructure despite the fact that some areas in Bohol were placed under signal no. 4.
Relief packs were given to evacuees as some evacuated to safety.
Meanwhile, the decision to suspend classes remains with each local government unit based on the situation, according to Gov. Aris Aumentado.
Aumentado urged the public to remain alert and follow the advice of authorities as clearing and assessment continue.
Several LGUs suspended classes on Wednesday even if the typhoon has left Bohol.
Tagbilaran was among the LGUs that suspended classes on Wednesday.
As of November 5, 2025, work resumes, a day after a holiday, Bohol celebrated Garcia Day on November 4, 2025.
Burglars get away with P800,000 from AntMart in CPG Avenue
Two burglars carted around P800,000 in cash from AntMart in CPG Avenue at the height of the onslaught of typhoon Tino on November 4, 2025.
The burglars forcibly entered the door behind the establishment and gained entry into the office located inside the store premises.
The city police are now investigating the matter.
The police are still determining the identity of the suspects responsible for the burglary.
Man hurt after jumping off tree following electrocution
A man is in critical condition after jumping off a tree following electrocution in Cortes on November 2, 2025.
The man, known as Oscar Lagang from barangay Loreto, was asked by neighbors to fetch some coconuts.
Based on the narration of the victim’s uncle, Cezar, as Oscar reached the top of the coconut tree, he felt some electric current and saw a mahogany tree touching the coconut tree that he climbed on.
A drop wire was touching the mahogany tree as the mahogany tree was touching the coconut tree.
The victim shouted for help and to break his fall as he planned to jump off the tree.
As panic set in, the victim jumped off the tree and caused injuries.
He was then rescued and brought to a nearby hospital as he sustained severe injuries placing him in critical condition.
Loboc homes flooded due to typhoon Tino
Several homes in Loboc town were flooded due to rising flood waters during the onslaught of typhoon Tino.
At least 30 homes in six barangays in Loboc were flooded during the height of the typhoon that ravaged central Philippines.
The floods came when Loboc River overflowed due to incessant rains, according to Loboc mayor Raymond Jala.
Jala said late morning of November 4, 2025, the water level at the river rose all of a sudden reaching critical level when high tide coupled with incessant rains plus waters coming from neighboring towns.
The barangays often affected when water levels rise are Jimilian, Ondol, Villadolid, Villaflor, Camayaan, and Gotozon.
The local government unit ordered a pre-emptive evacuation in all possible areas where flooding usually occurs.
This is to prevent loss of life that happened in past instances like what in 2021 during typhoon Odette.
Jala said that 19 families were asked to evacuate and housed in various evacuation centers in Loboc.
There were also reports of some landslides and felled trees, according to Jala.
PCG allows sea trips as typhoon Tino leaves
As typhoon Tino left Bohol, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) allowed sea trips to resume as of November 5, 2025, following the lifting of wind signals.
The lifting of wind signals also signaled the PCG to allow sea trips to resume as they were suspended at the height of the onslaught of typhoon Tino.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) listed the wind signals as of Wednesday as the typhoon had hovered over Palawan and was moving away from the country.
According to Lt. Jenna Diosa May Pagcalinawan of PCG Western Bohol, the lifting of wind signals means that sea trips that were suspended will resume.
All sea craft, regardless of size, are now allowed to sail.
She clarified that all sea crafts are allowed to sail as long as they are able to comply with safety requirements.
The PCG had suspended sea trips as the PAGASA hoisted wind signals at the height of typhoon Tino.
The fastcraft service to Cebu from Bohol slowly picked up from the effects of the typhoon and operated after the weather cleared following the suspension of sea trips.
PAGASA tracks possible new typhoon
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is tracking a possible new typhoon that may enter the country and also impact central and southern Philippines in the coming days.
The state weather bureau said the new weather disturbance is still outside the country as of November 5, 2025, east of southern Mindanao and moving west southwest.
Based on the forecast track of the said weather disturbance, it is expected to enter the country’s area of responsibility (PAR) on November 7, 2025, or November 8, 2025.
According to the PAGASA list, the next weather disturbance once it enters the PAR is called Uwan.
As of Wednesday, the weather disturbance packs 56 kilometer per hour wind and gustiness of about 70 kph.
The weather disturbance’s strength may intensify or weaken as it approaches land and its path will be known better once it moves closer to any land mass.
Meanwhile, Tino has exited the PAR and is causing much damage to some areas of central Philippines such as in Cebu and Cebu City.
