Mahugani Security & Investigation Agency (MSIA) was established in April 1, 1994
by Mr. Gervacio “Gerry” V. Ramirez. Sir Gerry is a former VP for Visayas and
Mindanao of Family Savings Bank and Trust Corporation and is a consultant and
member of the Board of Director of Cortess Printing Press Corp., Charlies Bakeshop Corp.
and Envireau Pacific Inc.
In 1996, Mr. Jay Ambrose B. Ramirez, an Industrial Engineer by profession
and a graduate of Ateneo de Davao University, also the eldest son of Mr. Gerry V. Ramirez
assumed the Command Post of the Agency. With loyal staff by his side namely: Avel, Leah
and Miguel. Under his leadership and guidance, he embedded into the agency’s corporate
culture and genes of what is now known as the “PRO-GUARD POLICY.”
By late 1996, in a span of two (2) years, actual operation of the agency was granted a
regular license to operate and was already recognized as one of the major players in the
Southern Mindanao Security Business Community.
By early 1997, the agency has achieved the unprecedented status to be among the few
agencies that religiously follow the Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 5487
thus attracting more clients in such a short period of existence leading to the creation
of more posts.
The Agency has been in the security business for more than 20 years. It has vast
experience and operations “know how” on the Industrial, Mall, Residential
Community, Call Center, Retail Security, Bank and Armored Car Security.
The Agency’s threatre of operations is limited to the Visayas and Mindanao region,
more particularly on the following areas: Davao City, CDO, Gensan, Cotabato, North
Cotabato, CARAGA, Zamboanga, Cebu, Bacolod, Samar, Leyte, Iloilo, Ozamiz, Pagadian
