Camp Murphy and Zablan Field in Quezon City have been renamed Camp Aguinaldo and Camp Crame. This change reflects their current use by the Philippine Armed Forces and the Philippine National Police, respectively. Camp Aguinaldo, named in 1965, honors Emilio Aguinaldo, a leader in the Philippine independence movement. It features a museum showcasing the history of the area, including its role during World War II. Camp Crame, located across from Camp Aguinaldo, is named after Brigadier General Rafael Crame, the first chief of the Philippine Constabulary. Both camps continue to serve important military and police functions today.
