Camp Vicente Lim
Camp Vicente Lim is a facility of the Philippine National Police located in Barangay Mayapa in the city of Calamba, Laguna, which currently serves as the regional headquarters of the PNP in Calabarzon (Region IV-A). It has played a significant part in the local history of the Calabarzon region, as well as the national history of the Philippines; it was part of the Calamba Airstrip during the Philippines' American Colonial era, and was occupied by the Japanese during World War II although it is not recorded as having been used for military purposes during the war. It later became a facility of the Philippines' integrated local police forces, hosting the Integrated National Police Training Command. During Martial law under Ferdinand Marcos, Camp Vicente Lim was one of the four provincial camps to be designated a Regional Command for Detainees (RECAD). It was designated RECAD I and it housed thousands of political detainees from the Southern Tagalog and Bicol regions.
