ON
JUNE 10, 11 AND 12, 2012, this blog – Warrior Pilgrimage – will
once again convene the Philippine Independence Bushcraft Camp (PIBC)
at a mythical place called “Camp Damazo”, which is found deep in
a hidden nook of the Babag Mountain Range, Cebu City, Philippines.
Supporting again this endeavor is Camp Red, the only outdoors group
in the country south of Subic Bay that focused solely on bushcraft
and survival.
PIBC
MMXII promises to be better this year and the transfer of “Camp
Damazo” to a new, but improved, location speaks for itself. This
blogger is the organizer and the main instructor of PIBC. Moreover,
the following PIBC MMXI alumni shall be tapped by this writer to help
out in running PIBC MMXII:
RANDELL
SAVIOR (Camp Red/Tribu Dumagsa) shall be the official Camp Ramrod.
He shall be in charge with the administration of Camp Damazo like
ground space allocation, water, firewood and hygiene. He shall brief
regularly the participants about camp rules that will be implemented
and the daily routine that each participant will take part.
RAYMUND
PANGANIBAN (Camp Red) shall be the official PIBC MMXII Photographer.
He shall document all camp activities and related events through
his camera lens. He shall assist the Camp Ramrod with the
administration of Camp Damazo.
ERNESTO
SALOMON (Redtrekkers) is the official Camp Fixer. He shall prepare,
fix and cook the six meals allotted for PIBC MMXII. He shall
coordinate with the Camp Ramrod pertaining to the collection of
water and fuel.
GLENN
PESTAÑO (Camp Red) shall demonstrate and expound the module on Every
Day Carry or EDC. He shall assist the Camp Ramrod with the
administration of Camp Damazo.
To
recall, the first edition in 2011 (PIBC MMXI) were attended by
fourteen participants. It was the first time that a bushcraft camp
was held in the archipelago that was programed and devoted for
Philippine Independence. So, PIBC MMXII will basically be like the
previous year’s event but more expanded in the number of days,
modules, participation and camping area.
Due
to the sensitive location of Camp Damazo, PIBC MMXII shall limit
participation to only twenty participants. June 11 shall be
dedicated to the teaching of the basics while June 12 shall be
focused on the celebration of Philippine independence in the morning
while the rest of the day shall be spent at the Lanipao Rainforest
Resort.
Registration
is Eight Hundred Pesos (P800.00) to include event t-shirt, meals,
certificate of participation, field manual, the free use of Lanipao
Rainforest Resort and other operational expenses like security and
site transportation. If interested, click this link which will leadyou to Facebook and read the details and other posts or you may

For
those that have showed their intention of joining, please send your
payment in advance to the designated bank account number found in the
events page of PIBC MMXII. There will be no on-site registration and

once-a-year activity.
