Maestro Paolo Pagaling, in this video, explained the workings of De Campo and highlighted three key aspects:

1. Baiting or Luring: De Campo employs a strategic approach of appearing unaware of vulnerable body parts, enticing opponents into attacking those areas, which are actually bait.

2. Striking and Counter Striking: Once the opponent takes the bait, De Campo practitioners execute proper counters. They possess the ability to initiate attacks and swiftly counter when countered themselves, utilizing a technique known as HayangKulob (Pronation and Supination of the Wrist). This technique allows for quick angle changes in strikes, reducing the chances of being countered. De Campo employs seven striking patterns that are mixed randomly, creating unpredictability and broken rhythms in combat.

3. Footwork: De Campo relies heavily on footwork. Paspas involves rapidly stomping the feet in synchronization with fast and fluid striking combinations. Sagadsad, on the other hand, involves sliding the feet in quick successions. These footwork techniques enable swift movement from one side of the opponent to another, confusing them and making it difficult for them to keep up with changing positions.

The video also includes a demonstration by Master Jomalin Caballero, showcasing the proper execution and appearance of De Campo techniques.
