Set the alarm for 2:59 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 2:59 p.m.

While you wait to log the crew’s arrival with the Philippine Coast Guard, keep 2:59 pm visible so the appointed moment does not slip past. The alarm marks the final minute before 3:00 pm, giving you a clear cue to make the entry at the agreed time rather than relying on a quick glance at another clock.

Because the arrival record depends on a prompt cue, check the alarm sound before you need it. Set a brief test, confirm that the volume is audible where you are waiting, then restore the alarm to 2:59 pm. Keep this page active and your phone awake: otherwise, the alarm may stay silent and the crew’s arrival could be logged late. A separate backup on your phone is sensible if the timing affects a formal report.

As you watch for the crew around midday, notice whether engines, radio traffic, wind, or voices near the landing area are masking quieter sounds. By nearly 3:00 pm, activity along a Philippine port or station can shift as vessels and personnel move through their afternoon routines. Place the phone close enough to hear without blocking your view, and choose a distinct tone that stands apart from the surrounding noise.
