The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) has declared its Ligtas Undas 2025 operations an overwhelming success, marking another year of peaceful and orderly observance of All Saints' Day across the city's major cemeteries and memorial parks.
Comprehensive Security Coverage
From October 31 to November 2, 2025, the DCPO deployed a massive force of 1,448 police personnel to ensure public safety. The security blanket covered all key locations including the Davao City Public Cemetery, Buhangin Memorial Park, and Panacan Memorial Park, where thousands of residents paid respects to their departed loved ones.
Zero Major Incidents Recorded
"We are proud to report that no major untoward incidents were recorded during the entire observance period," announced a DCPO spokesperson. The successful implementation of security measures resulted in:
- Peaceful and orderly crowd management
- Efficient traffic flow around cemetery perimeters
- Quick response to minor public assistance requests
- Enhanced public confidence in police presence
Multi-Agency Collaboration
The achievement highlights the effective coordination between various government agencies, including the City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) and other emergency response units. This inter-agency cooperation proved crucial in maintaining smooth operations throughout the extended holiday period.
A Testament to Community Partnership
The DCPO emphasized that the success of Ligtas Undas 2025 was not solely a police accomplishment but a shared victory with the community. The cooperative behavior of cemetery visitors and their adherence to safety protocols played a vital role in ensuring incident-free observances.
This year's operations set a new benchmark for public safety during religious and cultural events in Davao City, reinforcing the police force's commitment to protecting citizens during significant community gatherings.
