why do concentration camps exist?
Answer
The Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd ed. defines concentration camp as: a camp where non-combatants of a district are accommodated, such as those instituted by Lord Kitchener during the South African war of 1899-1902; one for the internment of political prisoners, foreign nationals, etc., esp. as organized by the Nazi regime in Germany before and during the war of 1939-45.Although similar camps may have existed earlier (such as in Cuba (1868â78) and the Philippines (1898â1901), the English term "concentration camp" was first used to describe camps operated by the British in South Africa during the 1899-1902 Second Boer War. Allegedly conceived as a form of humanitarian aid to the families whose farms had been destroyed in the fighting, the camps were used to confine and control large numbers of civilians as part of a Scorched Earth tactic.
Use of the word concentration comes from the idea of concentrating a group of people who are in some way undesirable in one place, where they can be watched by those who incarcerated them. For example, in a time of insurgency, potential supporters of the insurgents are placed where they cannot provide them with supplies or information.

Safe Overnight Camping in the Philippines?
shortpc89
Are there any safe places for camping overnight in the Philippines, specifically in Luzon? I was thinking Baguio because I am avoiding the beach. I like to get close to the trees and the grass and the rainy atmosphere, which is great in Baguio but apparently Baguio has rules and curfews regarding camping. So I'm trying to find a place that is fun and secure.
Answer
Try Siquijor. I have relatives there that are Police Chiefs so it is a very safe island. Try off the road that runs over the mountain from Siquilor to Lazi
