CAMP ALAGAR, Cagayan de Oro City โ The observance of All Saintsโ Day and All Soulsโ Day under LIGTAS UNDAS 2026 in Northern Mindanao was generally peaceful and orderly, Police Regional Office 10 (PRO 10) reported on November 2, 2026.

Alongside crowd management and public assistance, police personnel continued implementing inspection protocols in cemeteries and other areas of convergence. A total of 413 prohibited and contraband items were confiscated, including cooking materials, lighters, bladed weapons, alcoholic beverages, and ci******es.
Despite the generally peaceful observance, police personnel recorded a significant accomplishment in Valencia City, Bukidnon, where a 39-year-old man was arrested at around 7:55 AM on November 2 at the Old Public Cemetery in Barangay Poblacion.
