The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reports a surge of sea travel as Filipinos head to provinces for Undas 2026 (All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day). Multiple outlets cite PCG monitoring showing that passenger numbers rise throughout the weekend, with totals climbing from morning figures to much higher counts by Saturday afternoon.
By Saturday morning, PCG reported 60,411 outbound and 54,291 inbound passengers across ports nationwide. Later, by Saturday afternoon, the combined passenger count in seaports swelled to more than 114,000, with the same outbound and inbound figures cited in coverage. In earlier monitoring, reports also describe more than 30,000 passengers passing through ports by Saturday morning, alongside details such as vessel and motor banca inspections.
Some coverage also zooms in on specific regions. One report focuses on Southern Tagalog ports, where PCG recorded 8,480 passengers over a six-hour window on Friday and lists inspections and the number of roll-on/roll-off vessels checked. Across the reports, outlets emphasize PCG monitoring updates, with additional context on security measures and inspection activities during the rush.
