Coast Guard assists over 82,000 sea passengers in Davao Region during Undas rush
The Coast Guard District Southeastern Mindanao has also inspected hundreds of vessels and bancas under its Oplan Byaheng Ayos holiday operations.
The Coast Guard District Southeastern Mindanao (CGDSEM) had assisted 82,711 sea passengers across the Davao Region as of the morning of Nov. 1, as part of its Oplan Byaheng Ayos: Undas 2026 operations, according to Mindanao Times.
A Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) maritime monitoring report covering Oct. 29 to Nov. 1 showed that personnel inspected 374 commercial vessels and 441 motorized bancas during the period. The report also logged 22,397 rolling cargo units.
To keep passenger movement orderly and travel safe during the holiday rush, the PCG said it deployed 376 personnel to major ports and passenger terminal desks in the region.
The regional maritime weather forecast called for partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with light to moderate rain showers or thunderstorms possible in some areas.
The PCG said it will stay on heightened alert under Oplan Byaheng Ayos until the end of the holiday period, as travellers make their way home after the All Saints' and All Souls' Day observances.
Why it matters for Davao
Residents travelling by sea to and from Davao City for Undas can expect Coast Guard personnel at ports and terminals through the end of the holiday, and should watch for possible rain showers or thunderstorms in some areas.
