Tourists evacuate hurricane-hit Acapulco
Airlines began to evacuate tourists from Mexico’s beachside city of Acapulco on Friday after a scale-topping Category 5 hurricane left a trail of destruction and at least 27 people dead, authorities said. “Acapulco airport has already been reopened for an airlift,” Defense Minister Luis Cresencio Sandoval told reporters in Mexico City, adding that the runway had not suffered major damage. Commercial airlines would bring in doctors and fly out tourists and locals, he added. Passengers hauling suitcases arrived at Acapulco International Airport to catch free flights, expressing relief to be alive after Hurricane “Otis” smashed into the city with winds of 270 kilometers per hour. “We’re very happy and content, grateful to be able to continue living our lives” Clara Elena Albo from Mexico City, who was on vacation with her husband, said. The airport buildings and installations appeared to be severely damaged, with broken glass and debris littering the ground. The control tower and navigation systems were severely affected, so flights will be operated visually.

Tourists evacuated from Mexico’s hurricane-hit Acapulco
Airlines began to evacuate tourists from Mexico's beachside city of Acapulco on Friday after a scale-topping Category 5 hurricane left a trail of destruction and at least 27 people dead, authorities said. "Acapulco airport has already been reopened for an airlift," Defense Minister Luis Cresencio Sandoval told reporters in Mexico City, adding that the runway had not suffered major damage. Commercial airlines would bring in doctors and fly out tourists and locals, he added. Passengers hauling suitcases arrived to catch the free flights, expressing relief to be alive after Hurricane Otis smashed into Acapulco with winds of 165 miles (270 kilometers) per hour. "We're very happy and content, grateful to be able to continue living our lives," said Clara Elena Albo from Mexico City, who was on vacation with her husband. Other visitors left by road after the main highway to the capital was reopened. The storm partially destroyed many buildings, shattering windows and leaving gaping holes in the walls of high-rise towers. Tourists have said they used beds and mattresses for protection in their hotel rooms. Others took shelter in bathrooms. Four people remained missing, including three members of the Navy, according to the government. Pope Francis sent a message of condolences and prayers for "the eternal rest of the deceased," the Vatican said. Before hitting land early Wednesday, Otis rapidly intensified within hours from a tropical storm to the most powerful category of the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, taking authorities by surprise. The World Meteorological Organization described the hurricane as "one of the most rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones on record." Much of Acapulco remained without electricity or telephone connections on Friday, while food was scarce, leading to looting of supermarkets. The government said that it had activated an emergency plan to bring essential supplies. Hurricanes hit Mexico every year on both its Pacific and Atlantic coasts, usually between May and November, though few make landfall as a Category 5.

Settle fees early,departing aliens told
The Bureau of Immigration on Wednesday advised all foreign travelers leaving the country during the upcoming Undas holiday break to comply with immigration departure requirements early to avoid unnecessary queuing at the airport on the date of their departure. BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco reminded registered foreigners who are studying, working or living permanently in the Philippines that they can obtain their special return certificate or re-entry permit prior to departure at any of the various BI’s district, field, satellite, or extension offices nationwide. While foreign tourists who have stayed in the country for more than six months may also secure their emigration clearance certificates before departure, Tansingco said securing the required permits early will decrease queuing time by half, as they will not have to line up at the BI’s airport cashiers anymore. The BI chief added that with the complete elimination of all Covid-related travel restrictions, the Bureau is anticipating a spike in passengers at all international airports in the country, especially at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, this upcoming December, and this time they are also experiencing a big increase in the volume of New Year’s Day travelers. During this peak season, the Bureau reminded all travelers that other immigration services are also available online via the BI’s e-services portal at e-services.immigration.gov.ph. Tansingco shared that the bureau also has a one-stop shop facility located at NAIA Terminal 3 in Pasay City, where departing aliens may also secure the said documents. He also reiterated previous reminders for passengers to arrive at least three hours prior to their flight and go straight to immigration after check-in. The Bureau is confident that BI operations will be smoother this holiday season as it has deployed additional immigration officers and assigned a rapid response team as well as mobile counters for immediate deployment as necessary.
