NCRPO: No major incidents, petty crimes recorded at cemeteries during Undas 2026
Family members visit the gravesites of their dearly departed early at the Manila North Cemetery on October 20, 2025, ahead of the annual observance of All Souls’ Day on November 2. Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN News MANILA — The National Capital Region Police Office on Monday said the observance of All Saints’ Day in Manila has been generally peaceful, with no major untoward incidents happening in major cemeteries.
Millions of Filipinos trooped to cemeteries over the weekend as a remembrance to departed loved ones.
Police Lt. Col. Hazel Asilo, NCRPO spokesperson, said crowd movement in 76 cemeteries monitored was stable despite more than 2.5 million who visited their dead.
“Lahat po ay na-manage ng maayos sa tulong po ng ating police assistance at coordinated crowd control,” she added.
(Everything was managed well through police assistance and coordinated crowd control.)
She said traffic was observed around cemeteries but major roads have been passable.
She added 17,000 security personnel had been deployed in Metro Manila for the Undas weekend to ensure police presence, crowd control and quick response.
No incidents of theft or other petty crimes were also recorded in major cemeteries.
Asilo said police are still on alert as Filipinos return to the metro after the long weekend.
