POLCAMPS

Believing that political candidates need to learn by experience, PUBLiCUS started the first ever formal and scientifically-based Political Camps or POLCamps. It ran its first POLCamp in 2003 with an extensive 3-day workshop in the Development Academy of the Philippines. Candidates were asked to put together a campaign plan, budget and communication strategy for their candidacies. The 2nd POLCamp was held in 2006 at Astoria Plaza Hotel where an American political consultant, Dr. Denise Baer was invited to discuss the victory of the Democrats in both chambers of the US Congress under the Bush Administration in 2005.
