The OG 'squad goals' but with a negative twist. It's the reason why office politics is a thing. You see this in schools, workplaces, and even government agencies. Everyone sticks to their own 'barkada' and it becomes a system of 'if you're not with us, you're against us.'
Reduplication of "kampi," from Spanish "campo" (field, camp).

Often carries a negative connotation, implying favoritism, cronyism, and a lack of unity.
