The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), led by PMGen. Sidney Hernia, reported a peaceful and secure observance of this year's observance of Undas.
The deployment of police officers at cemeteries, columbaria, transport terminals, and key gathering areas throughout Metro Manila played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and orderliness of Undas 2024.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) was on heightened alert, and the NCRPO implemented security protocols, confirming that no major incidents were reported.
“We have worked tirelessly to ensure that UNDAS 2024 was a time for safe and solemn reflection. I commend our police personnel and all participating agencies and groups for their handwork and dedication," Hernia said on Friday.
“Sa ating mga kababayan na nakiisa at sumunod sa mga patakaran, maraming salamat. Ang inyong pakikiisa ay susi sa ating tagumpay. I hope this sense of order and cooperation continues as we approach the holiday season," he added.
The NCRPO Chief expressed his gratitude to local government units (LGUs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), volunteer groups, and force multipliers for their invaluable support.
Police officials will remain on duty until November 4 as Filipinos travel back to their respective areas, anticipating a surge of commuters at terminals as the long weekend comes to an end.
Meanwhile, with the conclusion of Undas 2024, the NCRPO is preparing its security plans for the upcoming holiday season to ensure peace and safety across Metro Manila.
