In order to give them better skills in handling robberies and responding to threats, some 100 security guards of banks here will undergo intensive trainings in different firearms.

The Bohol Bankers Association (BBA) in cooperation with the City PNP and the Bohol Licensed Firearms Association is conducting the firearm proficiency workshop and shooting competition on Sunday to improve the capabilities of bank-deployed security guards.

The retraining of guards in gun handling came amid intelligence reports of a notorious robbery group from Mindanao that has gained entry in the province.

According to reports, the group is planning to hit business establishments during the month-long Sandugo festivities.

Some 24 member banks of BBA will participate in the firearms training at Camp Bernido Firing Range together with some bank staff and officers.

The training will be supervised by certified firing range officers of the City PNP with volunteer members of the BLFAI.

This is really good.  In the first place, they should have been trained before they even get the job.  And this shouldn't be just a one thing training.  Guards just like police officers should have a regular training to upgrade their skills. 

Ang problema lang sahay kay involve man ang guard sa robbery.
