Typhoon Queenie is heading out to Palawan and will be out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Friday afternoon.

Hundreds of ferry and boat passengers were stranded in various ports along the path of the typhoon since November 26.  The Philippine Coast Guard is expected to give clearance to sea craft as soon as the typhoon signal #1 is lifted by PAGASA.
