SunStar File photo February 22, 2021 THE Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) in Negros Occidental has ordered a halt on all sea trips in the province over the weekend after the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) hoisted Storm Signal No.1 in the province due to Tropical Storm "Auring." Captain Ludovico Librilla, acting PCG-Negros Occidental station commander, said around Saturday morning, only vessels weighing above the 250 gross tonnage were allowed to sail due to a gale warning in Western Visayas. Several fastcraft operators plying the Bacolod-Iloilo route were also allowed to continue with their trips, as some of the vessels they operate are above the 250-gross tonnage requirement.
