The electronic ticketing system is supposed to be the answer to the decades-long problems of port congestion and long queues that port passengers have to endure during peak season of travel such as Holy WeekOver the years, government officials would always issue an oft-repeated advice to the public to plan their travel early in order to avoid all inconveniences during long holiday breaks such as the Holy Week.
In his surprise inspection at the Port of Batangas on Wednesday, April 5, Philippine Ports Authority General Manager Jay Daniel Santiago acknowledged the inconveniences that port passengers have to endure now and until the end of the Holy Week peak season travel. “We leave it to them on what solution they would implement,” said Santiago as he clarified that the commercial vessels are under the jurisdiction of the MARINA.“We have been pushing for advance planning but apparently, in situations like this, it doesn’t pay off,” said Santiago.
"Our kababayan can log on to this portal and plan their travel in just one sitting at the comfort of their homes, offices or wherever they are," said Santiago. With the big growth rate every year, he said the situation is expected to turn worse in the coming years, especially that the Philippines has at least three major peak season travel—Lenten, All Saints and All Souls Days, and the Christmas season.
