Philippine PI Reports Increase in Philippines Background Checks

POSTED BY: Jeff Duncan, July 8, 2010

U.S. managed Philippine PI, LLC announced today a significant increase in reported Philippines background check cases and the firm is expecting to exceed growth rate projections for 2010. Philippine PI cites increase client referrals and high fraul levels.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA (July 8, 2010) – Philippine PI, a U.S. based professional private investigation firm specializing in Philippines background checks and discreet investigation services, announced today that contracts for background checks nearly doubled YTD versus 2009.  An increase in client referrals and high fraud levels both supported the growth.

Philippine PI™ currently makes up the largest team of private investigators operating in the Philippines, with 14 full time professional field investigators on the ground throughout the country.  In addition, agents and support staff are in Manila and Cebu, while the firm maintains a U.S. management team.  Corporate customers now represent approximately 40% of the firm’s investigation portfolio.  Management expects both individual and corporate case loads to continue to grow, and the growth rate for 2010 is projected at 30%.

With the lack of professionally trained investigators in the Philippines, Philippine PI has filled an important niche market.  Global clients rely on the Company to operate according to U.S. business practices, and Philippine PI™ is dedicated to the highest quality service.  The firm is verified by Truste, McAfee and the U.S. Better Business Bureau.  All hired Philippines private investigators must have a proven track record in military or federal law enforcement.  Many on the team are former agents of agencies such as the NBI (National Bureau of Investigation), the PNP (Philippine National Police), and the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines). 

High risk for business fraud and romance scams in the Philippines has fueled demand for background checks, and demand is expected to remain strong through 2012.  “Many clients are referred to us from previous or existing clients, from Embassies and from Philippine government agencies, who have limited ability to investigate all the crimes and private affairs," said William J. Carter, Vice President of Private Investigations.  "We expect our high growth rate to continue as our team of Philippine private detectives fills the need for trained professionals, and as our focus on client service generates more referrals.”

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA (Feb 15, 2010) – Philippine PI, a U.S. based private investigation company specializing in Philippine background checks and private investigation, announced today that it will add two new professional field investigators to its team of private investigators, effective March 1, 2010.  This addition to the team of professional field investigators will put the number of full

technology and equipment to deliver results for our international clients.

"We’re excited about the addition of these investigators, and also about the continuing growth of our investigation team," said William Carter, Vice President of Private Investigations.  "Our team of field investigators continues to gain global
recognition for its professionalism and expert reporting, while our U.S. based management team remains focused on client service.”  Management is expanding the team of investigators in response to the high demand for Philippine PI™ services, and after achieving 2009 Company growth expectations.

To ensure clients receive the best in Philippine private investigation, the firm only hires investigators with a proven track record.  All Philippine PI field investigators have professional training and work experience in federal law enforcement and/or military.  In addition, hired Philippine private detectives have the continuous
support, expertise and resources provided by the home office in the United States.  Global clients rely on the Company to operate according to U.S. business practices, and Philippine PI™ is dedicated to delivering quality results.  The investigation
