Phillippines cracing down on seekers of Yamashita's treasure

According to the April/May issue of World War II magazine, 22 people were arrested while digging in a tunnel in Mt. Banahaw in search of Yamashita's treasure. The article claims that after the war that the OSS interrogated the soon to be late General's driver and found about a dozen treasure troves, which became the CIA's slush fund for the cold war years. Mt. Banahaw is considered a sacred mountain and the tunneling and the presence of tourists with metal detectors was damaging the natural beauty of the area were the pretext for the arrests and the barbed wire barricading of some of the trails.

Re: Phillippines cracing down on seekers of Yama#@!$%#@!a's treasure

the treasure hunters, some of them dressed in fatigues, also yielded identification cards supposedly issued by the Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) police regional special operation group, the military’s National Capital Region Command, National Bureau of Investigation and the Ombudsman

Re: Phillippines cracing down on seekers of Yama#@!$%#@!a's treasure

makes me wonder.

if it's not real,
why would the Calabarzon police regional special operation group, the military’s National Capital Region Command, National Bureau of Investigation and the Ombudsman
be intrested ?
