Executive protection in Cebu is a programme, not a single officer. It is the discipline a company applies to protect a travelling executive against bag snatching and typhoon-related operational risk: advance work on venues and routes, a written risk assessment, an operations controller, and PNP-authorised secure transport integrated with the corporate itinerary. This page is for security managers designing protection around a C-suite visit, where the need is layered, documented risk management rather than ad-hoc cover.
PNP SOSIA-licensed operators under Republic Act 5487 (Private Security Agency Law) is the regulatory baseline. PNP SOSIA licensing mandatory; individual guards hold PNP security guard licences; armed details require PNP carry permits.
