Negros Cops Readied for Safe, Secure Undas

The Police Regional Office Negros Island Region will mobilize 3,119 personnel from the PNP, partner agencies, and force multipliers from October 30 to November 3, 2026, to strengthen security, intensify crime prevention, and safeguard the public during the observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, or Undas 2026, across the Negros Island Region.

Of the 3,119 personnel to be deployed, 1,773 are PNP personnel, 340 are from other units, and 1,006 are force multipliers. They will be strategically deployed across the Negros Island Region, particularly in cemeteries and columbaria, places of worship, major thoroughfares, transportation hubs, and tourist destinations. PRO NIR will be placed under full alert status to ensure operational readiness and the immediate availability of personnel for deployment as needed. All police units will remain vigilant and prepared, with emphasis on crime prevention, the protection of lives and property, and prompt police assistance to the public.

Checkpoints will be established in strategic areas, while regular mobile patrols will help monitor security conditions and deter criminal activities. Police Assistance Desks (PADs) will also be set up in designated cemeteries and columbaria to assist visitors and address their concerns. These measures will be complemented by close coordination with local government units, partner law enforcement agencies, emergency responders, and force multipliers to strengthen police visibility, facilitate traffic management, and ensure prompt response to incidents and security concerns, particularly in areas expecting large crowds and increased public movement during the Undas observance. PBGen. Rudecindo L. Reales, Regional Director, emphasized that crime prevention and public safety remain the top priorities for Undas 2026.

“Ang pangunahing tungkulin natin ngayong Undas ay tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng ating mga kababayan at pigilan ang anumang banta sa kanilang seguridad. Inaasahan ko ang bawat kapulisan na manatiling alerto, disiplinado, at handang rumesponde sa pangangailangan ng publiko. Higit sa pagpapanatili ng kaayusan, tungkulin nating protektahan ang buhay at ari-arian at maiwasan ang krimen bago pa ito mangyari. Hinihikayat din natin ang publiko na manatiling mapagmatyag, ingatan ang kanilang mga gamit, at agad ipagbigay alam sa mga awtoridad ang anumang kahina-hinalang gawain. Sa pagtutulungan ng pulisya, mga katuwang na ahensya, at komunidad, sisikapin nating matiyak ang ligtas, mapayapa, at maayos na paggunita ng Undas,” PBGEN REALES said.

PRO NIR urges the public to observe safety precautions when visiting cemeteries and memorial parks, keep personal belongings secure, follow traffic and safety regulations, and cooperate with authorities. The public is also encouraged to promptly report suspicious activities or emergencies to the nearest police personnel, police station, or Police Assistance Desk (PAD) to help prevent untoward incidents and ensure a safe and orderly observance of Undas.

Anchored on the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman, PRO NIR remains committed to proactive crime prevention, responsive police service, and the protection of lives and property. Through sustained police visibility, coordinated security measures, and the cooperation of the community, PRO NIR aims to help ensure a safe, peaceful, and orderly observance of Undas 2026 across the Negros Island Region.* (PRO NIR)
