Parked vehicles, mostly trucks, spanned over a kilometer-long in line in southern Cebu morning on Friday, February 6, 2026 as sea voyages have been suspended.

Central and southern portions of Cebu Province are placed under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal Number 2.

The vehicles are bound for Mindanao, while others are for Negros Oriental.

Sea trips have been suspended as Tropical Depression Basyang is expected to make a third landfall in southern Cebu.

Basyang, as a tropical storm, made its first landfall in Bayabas, Surigao del Sur at 11:50 p.m. on February 5. Its second landfall, as a tropical depression, was made over Bilar, Bohol at around 1 p.m. on February 6.

Sea voyages were cancelled since February 4, past 11 p.m., until further notice.

At Mainit Port in Oslob, stranded drivers and their truck assistants while away the hours. They were supposed to travel to Dapitan City and Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte.

Glenn Logagay, a truck assistant, said he is sad to be away from his family while a storm is brewing.

“Maguol pod ta uy, atong pamilya tua sa layo, unsaon naa man ta diri. Tawag-tawag lang ta sa pamilya,” Logagay said.
