Crisis Management
At PSA, we bring decades of experience to managing critical and highly sensitive situations, including kidnap and ransom negotiations, blackmail, and extortion — serious risks in the Philippines' complex business and political environment. These challenges can mean life or death for individuals and the survival of their businesses.
Trust only those with deep local expertise and understanding to protect your people and operations. With unparalleled experience, we are always prepared to respond swiftly and effectively.
Contingency Planning
Crises are rare, with most organizations facing a major one only once a decade, leaving many executives unprepared when disaster strikes. Modern leaders understand the need for proactive planning, starting with accurately identifying the most significant risks relevant to their initiatives. In the Philippines, this requires deep local expertise to navigate the unique cultural, political, and regulatory landscape, where many risks are hidden from newcomers or those without advanced business intelligent capabilities.
We specialize in creating Philippines-focused risk matrices tailored to your organization's profile. Our highly skilled Business Intelligence unit provides timely, accurate data on natural disasters, insurgency-driven crime, legislative shifts, and economic trends, leveraging our extensive local networks for hard-to-access insights. Let us help you build a robust plan to safeguard your people and business in the Philippines.

CASE IN POINT
MARKET ENTRY AND DUE DILIGENCE FOR A HIGH TECH SUPPLY CONTRACT
A prominent Western manufacturer wanted to establish an ongoing supply relationship with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). They initially considered partnering with a local private company to facilitate transactions with the AFP; a fairly common approach.
We performed detailed due diligence on their prospective partner, and uncovered significant past history of wrongdoing.
Our client avoided long-term reputational damage, and succeeded in establishing a major first transaction with the AFP, setting them up for a beneficial long-term outlook.
