The Environmental Management Bureau MIMAROPA Region (EMB MIMAROPA) spearheaded the Tactical Self Defense Training to all EMB MIMAROPA personnel on November 24, 2025 at 43rd Floor, Trium Square, 2183 Sen Gil J. Puyat Ave., cor. Leveriza St., Brgy. 37, Pasay City.
Mr. Jess Ian Garcia, Graduate 3 Civilian Instructor of International Krav Maga Federation Philippines led the training to teach men and women how to defend themselves during life-threatening circumstances. The training started by teaching two major stances, prevention and defense against circular and straight attacks. He also gave a drill on how to be released against choke pushing backwards and how to escape against choke while lying down.
The training aims to focus on self-defense as a means to maintain peace and security and learn to protect oneself against the unscrupulous elements of society. Participants learned threat neutralization, simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers and tactics.
The Krav Maga System was developed in Israel for the Israeli Defense Forces. It is a noncompetitive self-defense system the key principle of which is to finish threat or attack as quickly as possible and therefore all attacks are aimed towards the most vulnerable parts of the body like eyes, neck, groin, and knees.
The Self Defense Training is in celebration of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women and Children commemorated every November 25 โ December 12.
Moreover, the Field Offices from PEMU-Occidental Mindoro, PEMU-Oriental Mindoro, and EMS-Romblon conducts a simultaneous Self Defense Training on November 25. Meanwhile, EMS-Marinduque conducts their Self Defense Training on November 26.
