Rationale

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A SECURITY PROGRAM IN TRANSPORTATION?

 A secure transportation system is critical to overall national
security from terrorism. Groups or individuals motivated to
terrorize or injure people or the economy may well have
transportation facilities as a target or a tool. Most assuredly,
they would have a transportation element in an overall plan
of terrorism. Thus, securing the transportation system is a
critical consideration in overall security planning.
 Terrorists may be motivated to disrupt the economy.
Transportation infrastructure is critical to the functioning of
the economy. Transportation activities comprise 12 percent of
the gross domestic economy, and virtually all of the economy
is contingent on a functioning transportation system.
Disruption to critical links in the transportation system
provides an opportunity to cause serious economic harm.
Thus, transportation facilities may be targets of terrorists
intending to harm the economy.
History of transportation attack in the
Philippines.

The Rizal Day bombings, also referred to as the December

30 bombings, were a series of bombings that occurred
around Metro Manila in the Philippines on December 30,
2000. The explosions occurred in close succession within a
span of a few hours. Twenty-two (22) fatalities were reported
and around a hundred more suffered non-fatal injuries. The
explosion that claimed the most casualties occurred in a train
cab at the Blumentritt station of the Metro Manila LRT Line 1.
The attack was made by the known terrorist in the
Philippines.
 The study is about security program of PNR safety of
commuters in selected PNR station (Alabang, Sucat and
Bicutan).
The objective of the study is to determine and bind
the problems that will be asses in this study.

First the (MANPOWER) if the current numbers of personnel are

enough in administering the program in aforementioned station.
Second the (Surveillance) if the strategies are enough in
closely monitoring its commuters.
Third (SIGNALING SYTEM) if the equipment is well maintained
to prevent accident or disturbance. Then to know what are the
feedbacks of commuters if they are satisfied on the current
service of PNR in terms of security.
Statement of problem

This study aims to know Security Program of Selected PNR

Station for the safety of commuters: Basis for an enhance
program. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:
1. Demographic Profile
1.1 Age
1.2 Gender
1.3 Status
1.4 Educational Attainment
 2. How do the two (2) groups of respondent asses the
security program of selected PNR station for the safety of
commuters in terms of:
2.1 Manpower
2.2 Surveillance
2.3 Signaling System
 3. Is there significant difference between the two (2) groups
of respondents on the security program of selected PNR
station for the safety of commuters in above mention
variables?
 4. What are the problems encountered by the two (2) groups
of respondents on the security program?
 5. Based on the findings of the study what recommendations
can be proposed to address the problems encountered?
Scope and limitation

The study endeavors to assess the level of SECURITY

PROGRAM OF SELECTED PNR STATION FOR THE
SAFETY OF COMMUTERS: BASIS FOR AN ENHANCE
PROGRAM. in terms of Manpower, Surveillance, Signaling
System.
 The terms mentioned serve as bases to evaluate security
program of selected PNR (Alabang, Sucat, Bicutan) station
for the safety of commuters as the setting of the study. This is
also to determine how the security personnel or management
handle some issue and concerns within the selected station,
in order for the researchers to create a possible solution for
the said problems encountered.
 The respondents of the study focused especially on the two
groups of respondents, one was the security personnel who
are aware on the treatment program and to the commuters. It
concentrates on the 25 security personnel and 25 commuters
in the said selected station. The study takes the period from
August to December.
