The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has commended the country's three major mobile network operators—DITO Telecommunity Corporation, Globe Telecoms Inc., and Smart Communications Inc.—for their readiness to provide reliable mobile services during the Undas 2026 period. On October 29, the NTC conducted mobile network monitoring across 12 bus terminals in Metro Manila, including key locations such as Victory Liner Cubao, Superlines Cubao, and Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX). The monitoring involved 128 test campaigns, with 114 tests—approximately 90%—recording mobile broadband download speeds of at least 50 Mbps. DITO Telecommunity achieved the highest speed at 851.00 Mbps at PITX, followed by Smart at 456.00 Mbps, also at PITX, while Globe recorded its peak speed of 330.00 Mbps at Raymond Transportation Terminal in Quezon City. All three operators met the standard for SMS performance with a 100% success rate, exceeding the required 99% benchmark. Additionally, DITO and Globe maintained a 0% call drop ratio, meeting the standard of less than 2%, while Smart reported a 5.26% call drop ratio. NTC Deputy Commissioner Andy Castelar emphasized the importance of reliable mobile connectivity in transport hubs during Undas, a period when millions of Filipinos travel to visit cemeteries and reunite with families. The NTC has urged all mobile network operators to focus on improving communication services based on the monitoring results and will continue nationwide monitoring to ensure telecommunications services remain reliable and responsive to public needs throughout Undas 2026 and beyond.

Almost every day for months, Indonesian school teacher Natanael Undas looked up at the smoke-filled sky in apocalyptic shades of yellow and orange. "It looks like Mars, like we're living on another planet," said Undas, whose home in central Kalimantan province is at the heart of devastating forest fires that are generating toxic smog in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia. …

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. visited the tomb of his late father and namesake at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig City on All Saints' Day, observed as Undas in the Philippines. Accompanied by his mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos, and younger sister Irene Marcos Araneta, the President shared his reflections on the importance of remembering departed loved ones. In a Facebook post, he emphasized that the memories and values imparted by his late father continue to unite his family. The President also extended his respects to members of the Aquino family, including former presidents Corazon Aquino and Noynoy Aquino, as well as former senator Ninoy Aquino, despite their historical political rivalry. According to reports, Marcos sent flowers to the tombs of the Aquino family members at Manila Memorial Park in Paranaque City. This gesture comes amid ongoing discussions about the political dynamics between the Marcos and Aquino families. In 2013, then President Noynoy Aquino had expressed reluctance to revive the Marcos family's political influence, as several members held prominent positions at the time. However, Marcos Jr. has stated that the rivalry between the families is limited to politics. The article also notes that Kris Aquino, daughter of the assassinated senator Ninoy Aquino, recently shared that Marcos Jr.'s wife, First Lady Liza Marcos, assisted in handling her annulment from basketball player James Yap in 2012. This personal connection highlights the evolving relationship between the two prominent political families. The President's actions during Undas reflect a blend of personal remembrance and political reconciliation, underscoring the significance of honoring the past while moving forward in a spirit of unity.
