Conrado G. Dumlao, also known by most of his friends and
colleagues as “Rading or Conrad”, had made a successful business of other
people’s need for security and information.

military intelligence into a commercial intelligence. He had been in the
private detective and investigative business for 48 years, 20 years of which
were in the U.S.
His advocacy to eradicate fraud and dishonesty in the
workplace as well as his passion for networking inspired him to join in
numerous organizations in the US. Hence, he was named as the “First Filipino”
to become a member of the following associations in the US:

(ACFE)

(ASIS)
He became very active in the security and detective
industry. He also devoted time in sharing his intellectual wealth with his
colleagues in the industry. He humbly aspired to bring the technology from the

(PSIS)
Ø Association of Certified Fraud
Examiners-Philippine Chapter (ACFE)
Ø Association of Hotel Security Officers of
the Philippines (AHSOP), now AESSCCI
Ø Association of Professional Detectives and
Investigators, Inc. (APDI)
His professional career started with a great educational
foundation. He finished a degree in Bachelor of Science in Commerce at the
University of Santo Tomas. Through his dynamic leadership, he was the Corps
Commander of the UST-ROTC Class ’55. His life was full of challenges. As a
businessman, he never stopped learning. He obtained a Master’s Degree in
Business Administration at the Ateneo de Manila University and later received his
Doctor of Philosophy at the Philippine College of Criminology. For his professional training in detection
and investigation, he also studied in the U.S.
Hence, he became an Active Professional Lie Detector Examiner, a Certified
International Investigator, a Certified Protection Professional, a Certified
Fraud Examiner, a Certified Security Professional, a Certified Private
Detective and an Accredited Training Director by TESDA & the PNP.
He had touched so many lives in
his cheerful and loving ways from his professional colleagues to his social
friends and acquaintances. He was noted to be a great man, a very loving and
faithful husband, a loving father, a good mentor, a very prayerful and a
generous person. He shared his blessings, talent and intellect to everyone. He
was a forgiving and a jolly person. He really knew how to make everyone smile
and laugh in his own little way. He had inspired a lot of people with his speeches
and lectures. Capt. Conrado G. Dumlao was known as “The Captain of Professional
Detectives.”
His legacy lives on. He was the
