LINKED takes over security operations for Honda Philippines

THE LINKED Group last month officially assumed nationwide security operations for Honda Philippines Inc. The deployment mobilizes a total of 146 contracted security guards across Honda’s primary manufacturing plants, regional distribution hubs and corporate administrative offices. This strategic partnership establishes a unified security framework designed to protect assets, personnel and facilities across multiple key locations throughout the Philippines.

The core concentration of security personnel centers on major industrial and manufacturing hubs in Southern Luzon. The First Philippine Industrial Park facility in Tanauan, Batangas, accounts for the largest depoyment with 58 guards, while key operational sites in Biñan and Sta. Rosa, Laguna, carry a total of 54 guards.

The contract extends to critical regional facilities across the country, including eight guards in Cebu, eight in Davao, six at the Honda Safety Driving Center in Parañaque, five in Pampanga, four in Cagayan de Oro and three at the Metro Manila office.

The takeover process was executed through a structured, multi-phase mobilization schedule to guarantee operational readiness. The initial phase began with an extensive equipment showdown and operational review. Southlink Security president Nap Briñas and Honda Batangas department manager for general services Engr. Jun Lomibao jointly inspected all security gear, communication devices and tactical equipment to ensure compliance with operational standards. Following the equipment audit, detachment commander Neil Mingoy presented the uniformed security personnel to Lomibao for the official personnel inspection.

Mingoy later led a formal rank formation attended by executive leadership from both organizations, including Briñas and Lomibao. During this session, security personnel received site-specific briefings and were posted alongside outgoing security teams to conduct parallel shadow duties. This step ensured a seamless shift handover without disrupting facility routine or compromising site security. Precisely at midnight on Oct. 13, 2026, the LINKED Group fully assumed sole operational control of security services across all designated Honda Philippines sites.

The successful transition reflects the LINKED Group’s commitment to providing seamless security management and elevated operational protection for top-tier automotive manufacturing partners nationwide
