IMUS, Cavite — The Cavite Police Provincial Office is all set to ensure a smooth, safe, and peaceful observance of Undas 2025 as part of the nationwide “Ligtas Undas” operational plan of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The Cavite PPO, led by Acting Provincial Director Police Colonel Ariel Red, has mapped out comprehensive security and public assistance measures in anticipation of the influx of visitors to cemeteries and memorial parks across the province from October 29 to November 4, 2025.
According to police estimates, around 451,300 people are expected to visit 116 cemeteries (54 public and 62 private sites) as well as five columbariums throughout Cavite. To mitigate public safety risks and hazards, 2,422 personnel will be deployed in Cavite—comprising 1,250 PNP officers, 176 augmentation units, and 996 force multipliers from various community groups and organizations.
Red said force multipliers will be crucial in the operation, with 996 volunteers helping in different roles. These include Barangay Tanods maintaining order in cemeteries and nearby communities; Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams (BPATs) managing crowd control and public information; traffic enforcers directing vehicle flow; security guards protecting private cemeteries and establishments; radio groups supporting communication; and volunteer organizations, including civic and faith-based groups, assisting visitors.
Cavite Police will also establish 117 Police Assistance Desks (PADs) and 23 Motorist Assistance Centers (MACs), supported by 19 Blue Teams that will conduct continuous patrols and monitoring.
Deployment highlights include 311 personnel for Police Assistance Desks (PADs), 68 personnel for Motorist Assistance Centers (MACs), 189 roving officers, 200 traffic marshals for major roads, 191 personnel for checkpoint and Oplan Sita operations, 87 officers for firewall operations, 34 personnel at transport terminals, and 167 personnel in areas of convergence.
Red emphasized that even with the public safety plans of his office, public cooperation remains crucial to the success of the operation.
“Our goal is not only to ensure a safe and orderly Undas but also to uphold peace and discipline among citizens. Let us work together to remain vigilant and responsible for the safety of our families and communities,” he said.
He further stressed that Ligtas Undas 2025 will only be successful through the continued collaboration between the police, local government units, and the public—ensuring that this year’s commemoration of Undas in Cavite is peaceful, organized, and meaningful.
