During the 1970s the Philippines issued a complex Brush patterns in couple of different colorations (at least 2 that I know of). I don't know more than that it was dropped not too long after it started to see service. The material is a stiff, but not thick, cotton weave.

PNP 6 Color
Official Name
(?)
Years Used
(?)
Used By
Philippine National Police (PNP)
Known Items
Shirt, Trousers, Boonie
Notes
Like many nations, national police forces in the Philippines (PNP) wear camo uniforms when on operations. The PNP pattern is only used by them, but is very similar to the old US 6 Color Desert pattern. The original version of this pattern has a pink background (see left) and is printed on ripstop cloth. This changed a few years ago to use smooth cotton with slightly different colors (see middle). Earlier last year a small color change was made to the background color, giving it a more rose/gray look than before (see right).

Known Items
Shirt, Trousers, Boonie
Notes
Current issue dense DPM pattern in blue tones. My understanding is that this uniform is either on its way out or already pulled due to great disatisfaction with it in the field. Go figure!
