INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Security
is
the
protection
of
person,
property
or
organization from attack. The theory of security is to know
the types of possible attacks, to be aware of the motivations

difficult to attack, threaten counter-measures, or make a preemptive attack on a source of threat. As humans, we understand
well what security means in the real world. As stated above,
it is a form of physical protection against any crime that may
have detrimental effects. Danger is imminent as it exists in a
form of actual plan of action or an accident. One example of

primordial approach to security. Terrorism is an example of
why security is rendered. As defined, terrorism is the use of
violent acts to frighten people in an area as a way of trying
to
achieve
political
goal.
Republic
Act
9372
or
Human
Security Act of 2007 states that it is declared a policy of
the State to protect life, liberty and property from acts of
terrorism, to condemn terrorism as inimical and dangerous to
the national security of the country and to the welfare of the
1
people, and to make terrorism a crime against the Filipino
people, against humanity, and against the law of the nations.
One of the prime targets for terrorism is an airport which
allows the terrorists to transport weapons, paraphernalia or
bombers to a country undetected if the security is not enough
in degree of implementation of security measures.
Statement of the Problem
This
study
aims
to
find
out
the
security
measures
provided by the Roxas City Airport Personnel.
Specifically,
it
sought
to
answer
the
following
questions:
1. What are the security measures provided by the Roxas City
Airport Personnel?
2. What are the common breaches in security measures provided
by the Roxas City Airport Personnel?
3. Are there a significant difference
on
the
security
measures provided by the Roxas City Airport Personnel when
classified according to age, sex, civil status, estimated
monthly income, and length of service?
Hypotheses
2
In this study, the researchers have advanced their null
hypothesis:
1. There
is
no
significant
difference
on
the
security
measures provided by the Roxas City Airport Personnel
when classified such as age, sex, civil status, estimated
monthly income and length of service.

to
make
The
it
difficult to attack, threaten counter-measures, or make a preemptive attack on a source of threat (Ron Kurtus, 2000).The
theory of security by Ron Kurtus asserts that security should
provide protection or security against a threat. As such, you
must be aware of possible threats, establish awareness, know
the motivations of criminally minded people and check your
vulnerabilities to that motive. If applied to the security
measures
provided
by
the
Roxas
City
Airport,
the
airport
itself should have adequate security to maintain protection
not only to the consumers but to the immediate jurisdiction of
Roxas City against dangers of a threat.

Significance of the Study
The result of this study will be considered valuable to
the following:
Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). The
result of this study will be beneficial to help the personnel
of CAAP to improve the security measures of the Roxas City
Airport for the welfare of both passengers and staff alike.
Department
of
Transportation
and
Communication
(DOTC).
The result of this study will be helpful as a basis to improve
the security measure and service implemented in Roxas City
Airport personnel. Furthermore, to give financial support.
Local Government Unit. As a main proponent as well as the
executive department which concerned with the security within
its jurisdiction, it will benefit the LGU to provide solutions
to upgrade the current security status quo of the Roxas City
Airport.
Passengers. The result of this study will benefit the
passengers for their own safety in terms of security measures
implemented by the Roxas City Airport personnel.
