Hundreds of people were stranded in different ports in the regions affected by ''Ulysses'', which is forecast to be a severe tropical storm Tuesday night.

As of 4pm, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has monitored a total of 751 passengers, drivers, and cargo helpers stranded in Bicol and Southern Tagalog regions.

The PCG said nine vessels; seven motorbancas; and 293 rolling cargoes were also stranded within the two regions.

"Moreover, 59 vessels and 24 motorbancas are taking shelter as a precautionary measure against the possible threat of the tropical cyclone," said PCG.
