During the Age of Feudalism, the Anglo-Saxons brought with them the
England organizations made up of individuals to protect civil and military
groups. The formal system of security during the middle ages follows largely
the refinements of existing practices. The Anglo-Saxons from Germany, for
six hundred years consolidated England under a fairly legal system.
After the Norman period, in “1215” the “Magna Carta” was signed. It
established the “principle of due process” by stating that no freeman could
be arrested, imprisoned, deprived of his property, outlawed ort exiled or “in
any way destroyed except by legal judgment of his peers or by the law of the
Land”. It established the important principle that everyone including the
king is subject to law. It was at that time that a central court system was
established where in such institutions and courts like the coroners, Justice
of the Peace, Chancery courts, the Privy Councils were established.
The Industrial Revolution during the latter half of the 18 th Century began
to gather momentum. The time people flocked to the cities lured by
promises of work and wages. The crowding of the cities with the influx of
wealth seeker brought theory, crimes of violence and juvenile delinquencies.
Then came the “Laisses Faire” which contended that labor was the
source of wealth; and it was by freedom of labor, that public wealth would
best be promoted. Crime rates spiraled the response to high crimes brought
citizens to resort to carrying of firearms for protection and they continued to
band together to hire special police to protect homes and properties. This
was the beginning of private security.
In the Philippines, it would be wise to trace the steps leading to the final
signing by President Ferdinand E. Marcos on June 13, 1969 of Republic Act
5487, the Private Security Agency Law. In this law was assigned the most
important role of Security Guard Force in assisting the Police in its mission
to safeguard lives and properties. The then Philippine Constabulary (PC)
played a great role in supervising all Private Constabulary issued Staff
Memo dated August 4, 1969 creating the Philippine Constabulary Security
and Investigation Agency Supervisory Office (PCSIASO). After barely two (2)
months another General Staff Memo was issued renaming PCISASO to
PCSOSIA. On June 29, 1970, it was again renamed as PC Supervisory Unit
for Security and Investigation Agency (SUSIA). However, the supervision was
later on transferred to the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA).
With the intention of continuously professionalizing the security industry,
several Presidential Decrees were issued such as PD No. 11 issued on
October 1972, amending certain sections of RA 5487 particularly Sections 4
as to who may organize a security and watchman agency; PD 100 on
January 17, 1973 further amended Sections 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 which permits
the watchman or security guard to assist in cases of emergency disaster or
