Manila North Cemetery recorded a huge number of visitors during Undas 2026. Inquirer.net reported that the cemetery logged over 1.3 million visitors on All Saints' Day, while another report put the total at nearly 1.4 million.
On All Souls' Day, Manila North welcomed 660,000 visitors on its own. The numbers show that the cemetery stayed busy across the holiday period.
Manila South Cemetery also saw many people come through its gates. GMA Network reported that the site logged over 545,000 visitors on November 1. Inquirer.net also shared a look at a crowd that reached 2,200 on All Souls' Day.
The Manila Police District said Manila South Cemetery stayed generally peaceful during Undas 2026. Police described the situation there as calm overall, even with the large crowds.
Crowds Keep Growing at the Gates
ABS-CBN reported that Manila North Cemetery was bracing for even more visitors as the Undas 2026 crowds continued to grow. The report did not say how many more people were expected to arrive.
Because the sources do not give a final total for the season, the complete visitor count is not yet known. Updates from the cemeteries and local authorities will be needed to show how the rest of the holiday unfolded.
For many people, Undas is a time to remember loved ones and spend the day at their final resting places. The numbers from Manila North and Manila South show just how many families made the trip this year.
