I visited the Visayas there in January. The security guards were universally armed with revolvers. I think I saw markings on several indicating Taurus-Rossi, or perhaps Llama manufacture. Some looked like nothing more the paperweights, or could only be viable in that role..

The exception were bank guards. One guard with an M16, and the other with a 12ga. semi seemed to be the 'standard'. Those were the two OUTSIDE. Inside was one or two others with pistols.

Police seemed to be either sporting 1911's, or Berettas. While I can't be sure of the the pedigree, I know I saw several stainless Colt's. I don't recall seeing any Glock or Sig. Mind you, I spoke with an UNarmed lady officer at one of the airports. She explained that she could not AFFORD a gun of her own yet! They start out at the US equivalent of $355 per month.
