Ntc Regional Offices to Support Undas 2026 Communications and Public Assistance

The coordination covers government agencies, telecommunications providers and volunteer radio groups from October 31 to November 2.

The National Telecommunications Commission has directed its regional offices to support public assistance operations for Undas 2026, focusing on coordination and communications during the October 31–November 2 observance.

Regional directors are tasked with working alongside local governments, law enforcement agencies, disaster risk reduction and management offices, emergency responders and other concerned authorities.

The initiative anticipates increased activity around cemeteries, memorial parks and other places where families gather to remember departed loved ones.

Keeping assistance groups connected

The NTC’s instructions include monitoring Civic Action Groups and Amateur Radio Groups conducting public-service operations.

Regional offices will track their assigned routes, assistance posts, personnel locations and radio base stations.

Published reports describe these groups as additional communications links for public assistance and emergency response during the holiday period.

Knowing where teams are stationed can help participating authorities coordinate requests and identify available support.

Addressing reported telecom concerns

The regulator will also coordinate with telecommunications providers when necessary to address reported service concerns.

The focus includes locations expected to experience heavier public activity and mobile network traffic.

This is a coordination measure, rather than a guarantee that every location will have uninterrupted coverage throughout Undas.

NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez emphasized interagency cooperation and effective communications as important parts of public safety and timely assistance.

Prepare your own communications plan

The NTC reminds the public to keep mobile phones charged, note local emergency numbers, follow safety advisories and maintain contact with family members.

Families should also agree on meeting points and communication arrangements before separating in crowded areas.

Responsible use of available channels remains important, particularly when seeking emergency assistance. Clear information about a location and the help needed can make coordination easier for responding teams.
