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).[1] 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,[2] 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.[2] It later became a facility of the Philippines' integrated local police forces, hosting the Integrated National Police Training Command.[3] 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.[4]
