Police deployments are shifting focus toward managing returning commuter surges across Metro Manila transit hubs following an orderly and peaceful observance of All Saints’ Day on November 1, 2026.
The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) confirmed that heightened security protocols and public assistance operations successfully maintained order as thousands of families visited cemeteries, columbaria, and memorial parks across the capital.
Police officers, working alongside local government units and partner agencies, managed crowd flow and traffic routing while remaining stationed at high-density sites and main road arteries.
PBGen. Abrahano credited public adherence to site regulations and security guidelines for the smooth conduct of the nationwide holiday.
“Public safety requires a collective effort. We thank the public for their patience, discipline, and cooperation with our police officers and other personnel on the ground. Your cooperation greatly contributed to the peaceful observance of Undas,” Abrahano said.
Despite the calm proceedings on November 1, the NCRPO emphasized that field units will remain on full alert status to oversee the ongoing post-Undas travel movement.
Police presence will concentrate on major transportation terminals and key thoroughfares experiencing heavy vehicle volumes and returning passengers.
The agency urged travelers to maintain situational awareness and promptly report emergencies or unusual activities to ground personnel or local police stations.
The NCRPO assured the public that officers will remain deployed to manage traffic bottlenecks, maintain peace and order, and provide roadside aid until travel flows normalize across the metropolis.
