The Presidential Security Command, (PSC)[1] formerly known as Presidential Security Group (PSG), is a Philippine close protection agency.[Note 1][2] It is the primary agency concerned with providing close-in security and escort to the President of the Philippines, their immediate families, former presidents of the Philippines as well as visiting heads of state.

The PSC is stationed at Malacañang Palace, the official residence of the president. Members of the PSC also accompany the president on both domestic and overseas trips.
