Albay Governor Jose Salceda indicated in a post on his Facebook page he was not pleased with the late bulletin.
"Omg wala pa 5am SWB (severe weather bulletin)... 32hrs no sleep coz of Amb," he said in his Facebook post at 5:19 a.m.
He said his 32 hours of non-sleep was due to the visit of US Ambassador Philip Goldberg to the province Monday.
A report by radio dzBB's Sam Nielsen said the late issuance was because
PAGASA needed nine signatories before the bulletin could be released.
"Dahilan sa lugar, maraming lugar na may signal. Hinihintay natin
(para) wala tayong nakaligtaan," added forecaster Rene Paciente.
As of 3 p.m., 941 passengers were stranded – 349 in Tabaco, 35 in Bulan, 21 in Pilar, 406 in Matnog and 30 in Cataingan.
