I wonder if this was a security guard at a gated community? I suspect if you pay them, they will take care of you. Las Pinas is Metro Manila. Another reason to stay away from Manila, right Alex?

Yes, I have never even landed in Manila, and have not set foot on Luzon. Always best to book a flight that lands in Cebu. Security guards everywhere in the Philippines, however, are always armed with these things that look like riot guns.
I do not notice any in my town, but always in cities.
