recruitment of DCSB in Metro Manila particularly in Camp Crame, Camp panopio, camp Bagong Diwa, Camp Aguinaldo, Fort Bonifacio
and Villamor Airbase. In 1983-84 it had already more than 30,000 members throughout the country. But in the middle part of
1984, the higher command of AFP/INP had successfully manipulated the disbandment of DIABLO SQUAD CRIME BUSTER(DSCB). To overcome
the situation Founder Leborio "Abraham" Jangao Jr. listed the five(5) names for the final selection which follows:DEFENDER,
PEACEMAKER, PROTECTOR, VANGUARD and GUARDIANS. Finally the DIABLO was renamed by Jangao to be called GUARDIANS BROTHERHOOD
