PCG Halts Zamboanga to Tawi-Tawi Sea Trips Amid ‘Uwan’ Weather Warning

PCG Suspends Zamboanga–Tawi-Tawi Sea Trips Due to Bad Weather

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has temporarily suspended all sea trips from Zamboanga City to Tawi-Tawi as ‘Uwan’—the local term for persistent rain—continues to pound the area. This move comes as safety remains the top priority for both passengers and crew amid unpredictable sea conditions.

Local Leaders Urged to Step Up

Officials, including Hataman, have called on all local and barangay leaders to stay vigilant and ensure the timely dissemination of accurate information. The PCG’s announcement aims to keep everyone safe while avoiding unnecessary panic. Travelers hoping to cross the Sulu Sea will have to wait until conditions improve—so maybe use this time to catch up on that Netflix backlog!

While the weather may have thrown a wet blanket over travel plans, your safety should always come first. Stay tuned for updates from local authorities and remember: no trip is worth risking your life over choppy waters. Let’s hope for sunny skies soon, or at least better WiFi while you’re stuck on land.
