Everything I write below,
is pure speculation on my part.
I'm also trying to figure out where this show took place.
TV Show, The Map of the island where they put an animated marker,
is too far south.
15°57'13.6"N 121°34'37.3"E
15.953775, 121.577024, Dibutunan, Dipaculao, Aurora, Philippines
I believe the tunnel being shown on the show has nothing to do with hiding treasure.
They mentioned it is where General Yamashita, made his last stand, before surrendering.
I believe they will be showing tunnels that were made in preparation of his defense strategy.
I came across an excellent detailed read! Written by Robert Smith.
If you have time, take a look at the whole thing.

The link below, let's you get to the heart of the General's last stand.
21 pages include photos, maps, in timeline format.
What I especially liked, it gives narrative to General Yamashita's thought process.
In response to the Allies effort's.
Pursuit in Northern Luzon
The Shobu Group Withdrawal Plans
Long before the USAFIP(NL) had captured Cervantes and long before the 25th Infantry Division had broken through at Balete Pass, General Yamashita, influenced by the collapse of the Baguio anchor of the Shobu Group's original defensive triangle, had begun laying careful plans for the group's ultimate withdrawal deep into the Cordillera Central.1 On 5 May, less than two weeks after the fall of Baguio, Yamashita distributed to major components of the Shobu Group an outline plan for future operations throughout northern Luzon.

I keep reading about the importance of the
Asin Valley.
It's too early for me to place an X Marks the spot, but let's see after this weeks show.
Respectfully, tim.
YAMASHITA COMES OUT OF THE VALLEY to surrender.
