LEGAZPI CITY — Maritime authorities have restricted sea travel in key areas of the Bicol region as Super Typhoon Rosal bears down on the eastern seaboard with potentially severe consequences.
The Philippine Coast Guard District Bicol announced the restrictions affecting waters off Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, and Catanduanes, citing forecasts of strong winds and rough sea conditions. The precautionary measures are intended to prevent maritime incidents and ensure the safety of seafarers operating in the region.
