VIP escorts, whether authorized or not, are a relatively common sight in the country. Be it personal bodyguards or police officers, you’re bound to see these escorts try and slice and dice through traffic or on the expressways.
The thing is, to have a real police escort, one must first send a request to the Philippine National Police for it. From there, the person requesting it must cite reasons for needing protection. That’s according to Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil, the chief of the PNP.Report: Next-gen Nissan Navara might go back to rear leaf springsFollowing recent cases of police officers providing security escort for certain private individuals, Gen.
