Lapu-Lapu City is the first local government unit (LGU) outside Metro Manila to have a mobile vaccination clinic bus approved by the Department of Health (DOH). The vaccination bus is manned by City Health personnel and will be visiting at least 10 barangays, prioritizing those with reported “delta variant,” which is now considered as the most contagious and deadly strain of COVID-19. The vaccination bus is the City’s sixth vaccination center, in addition to Hoops Dome, City Auditorium, Island Central Mall, Waterfront Airport Hotel and Mactan Newtown. A seventh vaccination site just opened at Marigondon National High School. Vaccination sites for workers of the export processing zones are also available inside the compound of Yuenthai Philippines and Timex Philippines Incorporated. Mayor Chan is thankful to the Philippine Red Cross Chairman and CEO, Senator Richard Gordon and Lapu-Lapu-Cordova Chapter Administrator Vic Jay Gonzal for the vaccination bus. “With this vaccination bus, we can now bring the vaccines closer to the residents, especially the senior citizens and bedridden individuals in remote areas,” according to Mayor Chan. Today, the City is averaging 8,000 jabs per day and has inoculated more than 318,000 residents and workers.

  • 4. Existing Shipping Services
    4. EXISTING SHIPPING SERVICES JICA-MARINA The Study on Domestic Shipping Development Plan in the Philippines (DSDP) Final Report 4. EXISTING SHIPPING SERVICES In this chapter, the existing conditions of domestic shipping services for the transport of passengers and cargoes are examined to identify the problems and issues for the basis of further improvement and development 4.1 Classification of Shipping Services Currently, various types of services are available in the Philippine domestic shipping. The existing shipping services can be categorized as shown in Table 4.1.1. In the Philippines, shipping service for passenger is mostly combined with cargo transport service. In terms of capacity, Ropax vessels and conventional cargo-passenger vessels are the most dominant service providers among the cargo-passenger shipping service. These types of vessels serve as liner for mainly mid/long-distance primary routes connecting major cities in the country. Wooden-hull banca vessels have the largest number and coverage. This type mainly serves short-distance tertiary routes connecting major islands and remote small islands. There are also pure passenger shipping services such as fast craft and tourism boat, etc. For cargo shipping service, container vessels are supplying liner shipping service for containerized cargos. Capacity of container vessels is dominant and those are serving mainly for mid/long-distance primary routes connecting major cities in the country. General cargo vessels and tankers are serving mainly for primary and secondary routes, while bulk carriers (mostly barges) are serving for secondary and tertiary routes. Table 4.1.1.
