Minister Paisalin P. Tago emphasized that the operation, overseen by the Bangsamoro Land Transportation Office (BLTO), Bangsamoro Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (BLTFRB), Bangsamoro Airport Authority (BAA), Bangsamoro Ports Management Authority (BPMA), and Bangsamoro Maritime Industry Authority (BMARINA) will ensure safe and smooth travel around public terminals, highways, and key ports and airports across the region, allowing families to commemorate these meaningful traditions without concern. The operation covers public gatherings, including strategic locations near ports and airports, to assist with traffic management, enforce safety protocols, and respond to emergencies.
Beyond its essential safety objectives, Oplan Byaheng Ayos-Undas 2024 serves as a heartfelt initiative to promote interfaith harmony among the diverse communities in the region.

Ultimately, this two-day event serves as a reminder that, during this sacred time, we are more than our religious identities; we are a community united by shared values and common goals. The collaborative efforts of local government units and the Bangsamoro regional police office further enhance the effectiveness of this operation, creating a network of support. As the community comes together to honor the memories of their loved ones, Oplan Byaheng Ayos-Undas 2024 emphasized the strength of unity in diversity and reinforcing the bonds that connect us all.
