MANILA — The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will be on heightened alert from October 30 to November 4, 2025, as part of preparations for the nationwide observance of Undas 2025, PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil L. Gavan announced.

In compliance with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to ensure the safety, security, and comfort of travelers, all PCG Districts, Stations, and Sub-Stations will intensify monitoring and assistance operations in ports and waterways across the country.

The PCG, in partnership with the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), and Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), will operate DOTr Malasakit Help Desks in major ports, harbors, and transport hubs to assist passengers, provide travel information, and respond to emergencies.
