The Philippine National Police (PNP) maintained full operational readiness during the Undas weekend, ensuring that public safety and law enforcement “never take a holiday,” Acting PNP Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said Sunday.
While millions of Filipinos visited cemeteries nationwide, police forces conducted intelligence-driven operations, checkpoints, and other security measures. These efforts led to the arrest of 31 most wanted persons with standing warrants for various crimes.
“Even as many observe Undas, our men and women in uniform remain vigilant. Public safety and law enforcement never take a holiday,” Nartatez said, adding that ensuring citizens’ safety remains the PNP’s top priority.
PNP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Randulf Tuaño said police personnel were deployed nationwide to secure communities and maintain peace and order. He praised officers for their dedication and round-the-clock presence during the long weekend.
The PNP urged the public to cooperate with authorities, follow traffic regulations, and report suspicious activities, emphasizing that public vigilance combined with proactive policing is key to safer communities.
