On its 40th year, Asian Security and Investigation Agency Inc. pledges to stay true to its commitment of being “the better protector” to its growing clientele across the nation.
Asian Security started its operations on July 16, 1981 under the leadership of Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua. Since then, it has been providing reliable security and investigative services to a significant number of institutional clients in different parts of the country.
Among the basic services offered by Asian Security are installation security, executive protection, family protection services, public safety, and security consultancy. On top of these, the company also offers specialized services, including physical security survey, personnel security investigation, security escort services, intelligence operations, and freight security.
The pool of highly-trained personnel are serving different institutions, including some of the big companies in various industries like Metrobank, PS Bank, Planbank, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, Devex Inc., Sunwest Development Corporation, Philfoods, Isuzu Gencars, Citystate Tower Hotel and 45 Group of Companies in Baguio City.
Asian Security personnel undergo regular trainings to maintain the quality of service that they provide to their clients, as well as their level of trustworthiness. Likewise, the company consistently adheres to the standards of its regulatory bodies to ensure uninterrupted service and protection to its trusting patrons.
According to Mr. D. Edgard A. Cabangon, Chairman/President of Asian Security, the company’s resilience despite the challenging times is attributable to the dedication and determination of all its members to give excellent service to its clients. “Maintaining the trust of our clients is our utmost priority. With this in mind, Asian Security is focused on keeping abreast with the latest standards and techniques in providing security and investigative services,” he added.
Loyal and dedication employees
Other than the skills and expertise, Asian Security also values the loyalty and dedication of its personnel, like Arlene Durante, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration, who has been with the company for 32 years. According to her, one of the reasons why she chose to stay with the company was the great support extended to her by the founder, Ambassador Cabangon Chua, as well as the trust and confidence in her of the company’s Board of Directors. “I am grateful for the trust and support given to me by our bosses, the kind of trust that I know they don’t easily give away. I am also thankful to our previous and present officers for their support throughout my stay with the Asian Security,” she said.
Durante also shared how working at Asian Security helped develop not only her career but also her character as a person. “As an employee of Asian Security, I learned how to be more patient, to trust myself more, and have the humility to seek help when needed. Working in this company also helped me improve my interpersonal skills and taught me to have the courage to face any problems, work-related or otherwise, head-on,” she shared.
Another longtime employee of Asian Security is Erma Dimalanta, Senior Treasury Supervisor, who has been with the company for 31 years. “I stayed with Asian Security for more than three decades because of the great benefits and the good relationship between the management and the employees,” she said, adding that working at Asian Security has also helped her in supporting her family for many years.
Throughout her stay, Dimalanta has learned to “love your job and give it importance in order to last long in the company. You should always focus on your work, be honest all the time, and show respect to both your superiors and subordinates.”
Advocate of security education
More than providing protection, Asian Security is an advocate of security education as it aims to train, develop, and influence its clients to put great weight and importance to their respective security protocols. Thus, it also offers security and protection training programs, which are taught by competent and credible professionals. Among the programs offered are firearms training course, which provides individuals with the basic gun safety and firearm handling skills; and family protection and defense course, which teaches individuals the skills necessary for home and self-defense, including firearm proficiency and marksmanship training. After four decades, Asian Security and Investigation Agency stays committed to its mission to “enforce the client’s rule and regulations; prevent and control crimes; maintain discipline, law, and order, and protect lives and properties”, all while adhering to the demands of the new normal way of life. As it strives to realize its vision, the company also vows to strengthen its work force so that they may continue to protect their clients in the best way.
Asian Security and Investigation Agency is a proud member of the ALC Group of Companies under the leadership of Mr. Cabangon.
