All airports were placed under heightened alert starting Thursday, in preparation to the

anticipated influx of travelers during the observance of All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) implemented the alert status to uphold passenger safety and maintain efficient airport operations during the implementation of Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) Oplan Biyaheng Ayos: Undas 2026, from October 29 to November 3.

CAAP Director General Raul del Rosario said the government's "priority is to ensure that passengers receive timely assistance, airport operations remain orderly, and concerns are addressed promptly."

"We are working closely with our partner agencies and airport stakeholders to help provide travelers with a safe and convenient journey during the Undas period,” he said.

To ensure passenger safety and convenience, CAAP said help desks have been established at all of its operated airports.

"Airport security personnel will closely monitor terminal activities, while medical teams remain on standby to respond to health-related incidents and other emergencies," it stated.

"The CAAP is also coordinating with the PNP Aviation Security Unit, Office for Transportation Security, Department of Tourism, Civil Aeronautics Board, and airline operators to facilitate passenger movement and help prevent congestion, particularly at check-in counters. Robina Asido/PHS
