EN: guard
That person you greet with 'Good morning, manong guard!' every day. They're the gatekeepers of condos, malls, banks, and schools. They check your bag, ask for your ID, and are the first line of defense against any *kaguluhan*. They're often underappreciated but super essential. Also known as 'sekyu.'
From Spanish `guardia` (guard).
Colloquially shortened to 'sekyu' from the English 'security'.
