The Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) has rolled out intensified security measures for Undas 2025, urging the public to act responsibly as they visit cemeteries and memorial parks between October 29 and November 3.
The measures include increased police visibility, deployment of traffic enforcers, and the establishment of Police Assistance Desks (PADS) at key locations to ensure peace and order.
“It is essential that we work together to ensure a peaceful and orderly observance,” said ICPO Director Police Colonel Kim P. Legada, emphasizing the need for public cooperation with police officers and force multipliers.
The ICPO is strictly enforcing Executive Order No. 108, Series of 2025, which regulates activities within cemeteries from October 30 to November 2.
Prohibited items and activities include alcoholic beverages, gambling, unregistered drones, unlicensed firearms, overnight stays, and medium or large speakers/videoke machines that cause loud noise.
Furthermore, the ICPO advised residents to take precautions against rising property crimes by securing their homes while away and immediately reporting suspicious activity to their hotlines.
The commitment aligns with the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) goal of providing “fast, honest, and noticeable service” during the solemn observance. IMT
