00:00 Some senators want to know the possible people who pushed the security guards to commit crimes.
00:08 As a result, the correct length of work and salary,
00:12 and the first neuro-psychological exam,
00:16 which was conducted by Dano Tingkungco.
00:18 In a viral video in Cebu in September 2023,
00:24 a guard suddenly pushed a metal barrier to stop a motorcycle from leaving,
00:30 so it fell.
00:32 In a viral incident in July,
00:34 a guard pushed a woman from the footbridge.
00:38 Although both cases were administrative,
00:42 senators want to know what was the possible reason behind the push.
00:48 How can we ensure that not only physically,
00:50 but also mentally qualified people who wanted to become security guards.
00:56 Many security guards are not trained.
00:59 Many security guards are overworked and underpaid.
01:06 And because of that, they are stressed.
01:12 It was found that security agencies that do not have or expired licenses
01:18 are still operating from the PNP-SOSIA or Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies.
01:24 Most likely sir, because our Enforcement Management Division is always conducting this post-oppose inspection.
01:31 Some agencies are still operating without valid LTO or expired LTO.
01:35 So why are you letting that go?
01:38 We are, for the enforcement side sir,
01:41 we are still having these RC issues to conduct their area post-oppose inspection.
01:47 More than 1,000 agencies have been initiated to cease to operate.
01:52 Senators also noted that there are some restrictions on security guards,
01:57 like parking attendance, cleaning, and answering the phone.
02:01 We will examine the employment records for at least 3 years,
02:06 interview the employees, inspect work premises,
02:10 to determine the compliance with the labor general standards.
02:15 And also the late or late salary for some.
02:18 There is advisory number 15, which states that the correct payment should be made as per contract rate.
02:29 And it should be on time.
02:31 It was also discussed if the guards should have a neuropsychological exam every year,
02:36 which is answered by the agency, and the correct length of work of each guard.
02:41 I think 12 hours might be the call to report.
02:44 It is the mental and physical being of our security guards that might affect their disposition.
02:55 So, I am a bit strong, 12 hours is a hard straight duty.
03:03 Security guards now are looking at deployment for 12 hours sir.
03:07 Because if it's only 8 hours times 26, it's only 15,000.
03:11 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dana Tingcun, and this is Tutok 24 Hours.
03:16 Tutok 24 Hours.
03:18 Tutok 24 Hours.
