The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) is on full alert for the influx of travelers in Metro Manila ahead of this year’s commemoration of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, or Undas.
‘So far, based on our observations while going around, the situation at bus terminals and cemeteries is generally manageable,’ NCRPO Director Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin told reporters after inspecting bus terminals in Cubao, Quezon City, on Friday morning.
‘We are on full alert effective October 28 until November 3, 2025. All our police officers should be accounted for and report for duty, except those with medical conditions, and they should be ready to be deployed at any time,’ he added.
Aberin further noted that the NCRPO did not monitor threats to the region over the holiday weekend and that their officers will not be deployed as marshals to oversee security on buses during the exodus.
‘There is no reason for us to do that. You can just imagine with the total number of buses, we just might run out of officers to deploy. When there really is a need for us to do that, we will do it,’ he explained.
