In preparation for the 2026 Undas observances, the Davao City Police Office and Police Regional Office 11 planned a large-scale security deployment. Approximately 6,000 personnel were designated to cover roughly 200 cemeteries, churches, tourist sites, and transportation hubs across the Davao Region. Security protocols included a 90:10 deployment scheme favoring field operations and the enforcement of bans on firearms, bladed weapons, and non-transparent containers at cemetery checkpoints.

Following the holiday period, authorities reported generally peaceful observances in both Northern Mindanao and Davao City. In Northern Mindanao, officials recorded approximately 679,129 cemetery visitors, noting the confiscation of 413 prohibited items such as alcohol and bladed weapons, as well as one arrest in Valencia City, Bukidnon, involving suspected marijuana. 

Davao City reported zero security incidents among its 174,807 visitors. The local operation utilized 556 police personnel supported by the Philippine Coast Guard, the Bureau of Fire Protection, Task Force Davao, and over 1,200 volunteers. Officials credited the incident-free period to inter-agency coordination and public cooperation.
