The arrival of typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi) has nearly paralyzed the transportation system across Central Visayas. Both sea and air travel have been suspended, and provincial bus services have stopped operating.
On Monday morning, November 3, 2025, the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) shut down all ports and terminals in the province to passengers due to the expected storm surge and strong waves. All sea trips were halted, leaving 477 passengers, 21 vessels, and 78 rolling cargoes stranded in Central Visayas ports as of midnight.
The Philippine Coast Guard reported that 129 vessels and 12 motorbancas were unable to sail.
More than 50 flights at Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) were canceled as a precaution. On Monday, 53 flights, including both departures and arrivals, were canceled.
An additional 34 flights, equally split between departures and arrivals, scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, are also set to be canceled.
“The Cebu Port Authority closed all ports and terminals across the province on Nov. 3, 2025, in anticipation of the storm surge and strong waves.”
Summary: Typhoon Tino has caused widespread travel halts in Central Visayas, with port closures and numerous flight cancellations as authorities prioritize passenger safety.
