PNP Ensures Safety and Security as Holy Week Ends

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has maintained an alert status as Holy Week concludes, reporting that no major incidents occurred throughout the holiday period.

To manage the surge of motorists returning home on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, the PNP-Highway Patrol Group (HPG) increased its deployment across key transit routes. This intensified presence is intended to ensure the safe return of travelers as they move from vacation destinations back to their residences.

The PNP described the overall security situation during the religious observance as generally peaceful. This stability was specifically highlighted in the Negros Island Region, where the holiday period was reported as peaceful.

In coordination with various transportation agencies, police forces have braced for the high volume of travelers returning to urban centers. These agencies are working to manage the logistical pressures associated with the end of the holiday exodus.

Local religious activities continued through the morning of April 5, with several parishes across the city of Bacoor holding Salubong celebrations to mark Easter Sunday.

The PNP continues to monitor road conditions and public order as the final waves of travelers return home.
