On the term 'Gater'


"FYI Security Guards, Security Officers, Security Instructors and Trainers! Take note that the term 'gater' if implied to mean as the security guard assigned in either a vehicle gate post or pedestrian gate post is a BIG MISTAKE! This is only in the Philippines, sad to say! 'Gater' is an informal variant of the word 'alligator' or in short ' gator'. Papayag ba kayo na ang mga guwardiyang naka-assign sa gate ay 'buwaya' ang katumbas na salita sa Tagalog? So please refrain from using the term 'gater'. Again, STOP IT PLEASE!!! Instead, let us practice and institutionalize the use of the term 'gate guard' like what is being used in western countries to denote the guard assigned in any gate. It's about time we give dignity to our profession as security practitioners!" - Grandeur P.G. Guerrero, CSP

On the use of the so-called Warning Shot


FYI Security Guards, Security Officers, Security Instructors and Trainers! Take note that since the Philippine private security industry is under the supervision of the Philippine National Police (PNP) through its Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies (SOSIA) as per R.A. No. 5487, as amended and its revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of 2005, we are bound to obey also the rule prohibiting the use of warning shots for police officers (Rule 6.3, Chapter 2 of Revised PNP Operational Procedures of 2013).


Huwag po nating paniwalaan ang sinasabi o ibinibiro ng iba na shoot muna bago warning. Siguraduhin ninyo na valid ang inyong paggamit ng inyong service firearm.


Our criminal laws provide for instances where a person may defend himself and not be prosecuted for what would normally be a criminal action. Under Section 1, Article 11 of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, the following do not incur any criminal liability:“Anyone who acts in defense of his person or rights, provided that the following circumstances concur; First. Unlawful aggression.Second. Reasonable necessity of the means employed to prevent or repel it.Third. Lack of sufficient provocation on the part of the person defending himself.”


Nevertheless, anoman ang inyong maging aksyon basta nasa legal lamang at wala kayong aggression ay idedepensa ninyo pa rin ito sa hukuman. Mahirap po ang makulong kaya mag-iingat po tayo! Pero mas mahirap naman ang maging 6 feet below the ground! Kaya this will always be a case of "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" kung hindi po natin alam ang ating magiging desisyon!


Again, ingat po tayong lahat! - Grandeur P.G. Guerrero, CSP

On the term Roving versus the term Patrolling


"FYI Security Guards, Security Officers, Security Instructors and Trainers! Take note that the term Roving is also defined as gallivanting which is "naggagala" in the vernacular, hence it's more appropriate to use the term Patrolling. And Patrolling has two kinds as to location - the first one is Internal Patrolling and the second is External Patrolling. With regard to the manner of conduct, it also has two - either Foot Patrol or Mobile Patrol. So please refrain from using the term Roving. Instead, let us practice and institutionalize the use of the term Patrolling like what is being used in western countries to denote guard movements in their respective AORs. It's about time we give dignity to our profession as security practitioners!" - Grandeur P.G. Guerrero, CSP
