Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military installation Camp Edilberto Evangelista is a military installation of the Philippine Army in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.

Background

Camp Edilberto Evangelista is a military base of the Philippine Army, and houses the 4th Infantry Division. It is situated in Barangay Patag in Cagayan de Oro and with an area of Шаблон:Convert is the largest military camp in Mindanao. Its scope includes Northern Mindanao and Caraga regions.[1][2] The camp hosts the Camp Evangelista Station Hospital.[3] The camp is named after Manila-native and civil engineer Edilberto Evangelista.[1][2]

Establishment

The land where Camp Evangelista stands would be reserved for use of the Philippine Army way back on March 31, 1938 when President Manuel L. Quezon through Proclamation No. 265.[4][5] The camp was initially referred to as Camp Bulua and adopted its current name in 1940.[6]

During the Marcos dictatorship

Шаблон:Main Шаблон:See also During the Marcos dictatorship, Camp Evangelista was designated as one of the four provincial camps to become a Regional Command for Detainees (RECAD). It was designated RECAD IV, housing prisoners from throughout Mindanao.[7]

Amnesty International, which documented human rights violations cases and the situation of political detainees during the time, called particular attention to the case of Pastor Romeo O. Buenavidez, a United Church of Christ of the Philippines (UCCP) minister, who was beaten up in various safehouses in August of 1981 and then brought to Camp Evangelista where he was forced to sign a waiver indicating he had been "well treated" during his "questioning." Results of later medical examinations showed medical findings matching the beatings he described. A case was filed against the officer and soldiers involved but there had been no updates by the time Amnesty International filed its report.[8]

1990 Mindanao crisis

Camp Evangelista was seized by Col. Alexander Noble, a mutineer, during the 1990 Mindanao crisis.[9]

Recent history

In the 2017 Marawi siege, the camp would serve as a hub for munitions and equipment sourced from Manila.[3]

In July 12, 2022, a fire and explosion hit the ammunition depot at the camp injuring three civilians[10] The incident renewed calls to move the camp.[3]
