IT is all systems go for “OPLAN BIYAHENG AYOS: UNDAS 2025, according to the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) as it expects a surge of travelers during All Saints and All Souls Day observance on Nov. 1 and 2.
CPA general manager Francisco Comendador emphasized the agency’s commitment to passenger safety with the enforcement of 24/7 security operations throughout a six-day period. Over 261,000 passengers passed through Cebu Ports during UNDAS last year.
This year, the CPA expects a substantial increase in passenger traffic as the holidays fall on a weekend, estimating the numbers to reach 350,000 or more across all ports in Cebu, Comendador said.
CPA, in coordination with the Cebu City government has installed ‘portalets’ outside passenger terminals serving as temporary sanitation facilities. Explosive and narcotics detection dogs are also deployed in all port terminals to further strengthen security measures.
