MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Wednesday said it deployed 458 enforcers to Metro Manila to manage the anticipated surge in travelers and vehicles during All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day or Undas.

According to LTO-NCR Regional Director Roque Verzosa III, the measure aims to mitigate the risk of accidents due to increased traffic volume.
