Davao City police officials visited all major cemeteries in the city on Monday, Oct. 26, to assess security arrangements ahead of the Undas 2026 observance, according to Mindanao Times.

The inspection was led by Davao City Police Office (DCPO) director PCOL Peter B. Madria. He was joined by PMAJ Philip Dave Uddin, commander of Police Station 16 in Ma-a, and PLT Mark Ferd Barte, deputy commander of Police Station 2 in San Pedro.

The visits covered both public and private burial grounds. Police reviewed crowd control plans, checked entry and exit points, and set up security posts inside and around the cemeteries before visitors arrive for All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.

Police officials said coordinating early with cemetery managers and barangay security units is key to keeping peace and order during the annual observance.

The DCPO said police will maintain a presence at all cemetery sites, transport terminals and major thoroughfares throughout the week.
