Waking Up Batangas Port

Summer is just sitting like duck on your car's trunk. Have you taken a peek of it? And when you realized it's about time to take it out in the open, you should be heading to Batangas Port. Don't wait before the Port wakes up. For when it does, even in the middle of the heat of scorching sun, the Port will be as busy as it can be all throughout summer.

As of this time, everything goes well at the Port. Nothing in a hurry. Everyone is taking some time enjoying the waiting time. According to some Port officials, the Batangas Port, popularly known as Pier, will soon be on its feet by first week of April. Students may have their vacation already, but their volume storming the place is still minimal compared to what they were expecting.

As of now, some locals and foreigners have been taking advantage the luxury of owning the place. At an average, a decent 200 passengers have been occupying hundreds of seats in the waiting area. Nothing unusual. Nothing to worry about being left behind by one's tidal ride. Everything works as smooth as they can be. Even lines on ticketing booths won't scream of discrimination of the Port's operation.

The Port has been dubbed as the region's anchor for economic and tourism development. For almost 53 years in operation, the Pier got so much attention during the time of former Gov. Mandanas. The Pier even brought the former governor to many magazine covers. A multi-million dollar structure was even built in front of the Port itself. The building was dubbed as Port's livelihood haven for striving businessmen. But up to now, from the time it was constructed, nothing can be found except for some "pasalubong" vendors lined up at the hallway leading to ticketing booths. A waste of people's money. 

However, let's just wait until the Port it fully operational. The building might come to its good use after all. Cross our fingers then.

The Port's waiting area is as good as ever. And as what we've said, as of this time, the place is hassle free. Passengers can even have their nails done, giving more opportunity to some service providers. And when you get caught with no water to rinse your dry throat, well, you can Le Breeze Tropical Fruit Shake. All Filipino fruits we crave for are there to be sized up on a cup. Ice will create the magic. And whatever you like, you choose your own concoctions of fruit shake. Le Breeze is a sure hit. A refreshing one.

Just a friendly advice. Be at the Port and wake it up from deep sleep. Be on a vacation. Now!
