Abstract

The importance of public safety and the responsibility of the government and its citizens in ensuring it. The study highlights the vulnerabilities of seaports and the challenges faced in securing them. The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) is tasked with ensuring the safety and security of cargo, personnel, and passengers in PPA-managed ports in the country, including the Ozamiz City Port. The Ozamiz City Port security personnel are responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment in the port, including preventing crimes such as theft, unauthorized entry, and drug trafficking. The research aims to understand the daily experiences of security personnel in Ozamiz City Port and collect data on the methods and strategies employed to perform their duties and responsibilities. This study utilized the qualitative research approach, specifically the phenomenological design. The process of analyzing the data to come up with a meaningful theme follows Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology. This approach focuses on the wholeness of experiences and searches for the essence of experiences; it attempts to eliminate everything that represents a prejudgment or presupposition. The researchers recommend training port security personnel on effective communication and conflict resolution techniques, assisting travelers, and creating a supportive environment. The study highlights the significance of having a positive mindset and resilience in dealing with challenges in the workplace.
