PAGASA lifted storm signal number 1 over Negros Occidental yesterday, prompting more than 70,000 evacuees to return to their homes, and for sea travel to resume.
Sea travel out of Negros Occidental halted Friday when storm signal number 1 was hoisted over the province as typhoon Ruby approached, Commander Glen Daraug, Philippine Coast Guard-Bacolod chief, said.
All storm signals over the Visayas were lifted by PAG-ASA yesterday.

ready for int’l flights’
The Bureau of Immigration is now ready to deploy personnel at the Bacolod-Silay Airport to help facilitate international flights, Commissioner Siegfred Mison told Bacolod Rep. Evelio Leonardia, a press release from his office said yesterday.
In a letter to Leonardia, Mison said his office is ready to deploy officers to the BSA to conduct immigration inspection courtesies for incoming and outgoing international flights.
Last month, the airport installed immigration booths in preparation for the foreign flights, the first of which would have been the chartered groups from South Korea.

No major damage,
death in Ruby wake
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Negros Oriental Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, chaired by Gov. Roel Degamo, yesterday said no major damage to lives and properties were reported in the wake of “Ruby” in the province.
Provincial and local government officials in Negros Oriental prepositioned logistics and manpower resources, and implemented pre-disaster plans as early weather forecasts showed that the powerful and damaging storm will possibly cut across the Visayas.
Except for some persons who had sustained injuries, no typhoon-related deaths were reported to the Council, so far, PDRRMC executive officer Adrian Sedillo said..
