He's gone from undercover work with NCIS to helping people with the Lions Club
Julio DeGuzman is well-known in San Diego for his community service in a variety of organizations, including his current position as San Diego and Imperial County Lions Club District Governor leading 49 clubs and 1,300 members. However, not as well-known is that before retirement DeGuzman served our country as a special agent where his undercover work in the U.S and abroad resulted in successful criminal prosecutions and earned him national recognition.
In 1986, he was assigned to determine whether the Philippines president had left the country during student riots. “I was approaching the palace behind the students just watching and talking to people when marines began shooting. I almost came out of my shoes while running,” DeGuzman recalled. That year, he was transferred to San Diego to investigate bribery, kickbacks and fraud crimes against the Navy.
