The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) inaugurated on Monday, March 27, the Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) of the Port of Calapan in Oriental Mindoro which is touted as the largest port passenger terminal building in the country. ManilaBulletin
PPA General Manager said the opening of the PTB at the Port of Calapan is in time for the expected influx of passengers next month for the long Lenten break which starts on April 6 until April 10.
As a result, the passengers are congested inside the old PTB which can only accommodate 1,600 while most of the people choose to stay outside the building—and experience either the sweltering heat of the sun or affected by heavy rains. It has also a prayer room, wide breastfeeding area, all-gender restroom, play area for children and charging stations.
In his speech, Go urged the port passengers to help maintain the personnel of the PPA and the Port of Calapan to maintain cleanliness of the PTB and likewise encouraged the port personnel to be courteous and delivery excellent service to the passengers.
