"The House security, belonging to the Police Security and Protection Office (PSPO) based in Camp Crame, was replaced by a team from the PNP Special Action Force (SAF), a day after the bombing attack.
The replacement of the security detail by SAF operatives following the incident had slighted the House leadership, according to some lawmakers.
Parañaque Rep. Roilo Golez, one of the appointed members of the committee, earlier noted that the SAF might not be the appropriate police unit for "VIP (very important person) protection."
He pointed out that SAF men are trained for assault and combat, and for neutralizing threats, "not for VIP and perimeter security." With ABS-CBN News Channel and a report from The Philippine Star

The Special Action Force is the primary special forces unit of the Philippine National Police. It is formed along the lines of the British (SAS) Special Air Service, but have different recruitment and selection procedures instead of basing them from the SAS [1]. The SAF, over the years, has received training from the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), RAID and YAMAM [1]. The Anti-Terrorist Unit (ATU) of the PNP-SAF is responsible for nationwide Police Counter-terrorism (CT) operations nationwide. Meanwhile, the regions have specially-equipped and trained Regional Mobile Forces (RMF) which used to be the Light Reaction Unit (LRU) in Metro Manila and the Regional SAF (RSAF) in the provinces [1].
Members or Police trainees who undergo SAF training undergo several special military combat related training such as airborne forces training, military diving (UDT), and K-9 handling.
Some of the best members of the PNP-SAF are chosen to undergo bomb disposal or Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Training, and Very Important Person (VIP) security training with the Detective and Protection Services Division of the PNP. Graduates of these courses are furthermore handpicked to join the ranks of the president's elite bodyguard unit known as the Presidential Security Group (PSG).
SAF members who are distributed either regionally or within Metro Manila are furthermore assigned to SWAT units or SWAT training units.
