Police Brig. Gen. Ricardo Layug Jr., PRO-10 acting director, said the deployment consists of 1,260 police force, 365 augmented police groups from various units, and 669 members from advocacy groups.

“We will also intensify our security measures, including providing information to the public to help them avoid violating ordinances,” Layug said.

Undas, or the annual observance for Filipinos to visit graveyards in remembrance of their dead loved ones, is a two-day religious holiday known as All Souls’ and All Saints’ Days that falls on November 1 and 2, respectively.

Layug said deployed personnel will be strategically stationed in the cemeteries, major thoroughfares, transportation hubs, places of convergence, and tourist destinations.
