MANILA, Philippines — Drones will be deployed to monitor cemeteries during Undas or All Saints’ Day in Quezon City, said the Quezon City Police District (QCPD).

QCPD director Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III said this to reporters on Saturday after announcing that the QCPD will start deploying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones in anti-crime operations.

“The drones will send live feed to the command center,” said Torre.
